At the press conference, Mishra stated, “Tunisha’s so-called uncle Pawan Sharma was her former manager, he was fired 4 yrs ago because he used to interfere a lot & behave harshly with her.” He went on to say, “Tunisha & Sanjeev Kaushal (an uncle in Chandigarh) had terrible relations. Sanjeev Kaushal & her mother, Vanita used to control Tunisha’s finances. Tunisha often pleaded in front of her mother for her own money.”

Mishra added, “Tunisha used to panic a lot upon hearing name of Sanjeev Kaushal. On instigation of Sanjeev Kaushal, Tunisha’s mother broke her phone & tried to strangulate her. Sanjeev Kaushal & Tunisha’s mother used to control Tunisha’s life.”According to the attorney, Tunisha’s relatives used to manage her finances and were to blame for her sadness and panic attacks in the years leading up to her death.
In response to Vanita’s charges, Sheezan’s sister Shafaq Naaz stated that the photograph of Tunisha wearing a hijab was taken for the show and not in real life. She said, “The picture of Tunisha in hijab being circulated is from the set of the show which was part of the shoot. It can be seen. We never made her wear hijab, it was from the channel.”
