Actor Sheezan Khan got a huge relief on Wednesday after the Vasai court in Mumbai allowed the temporary return of his passport. Sheezan, who has spent 70 days in jail on the charge of abetting his former girlfriend Tunisha Sharma’s alleged suicide, is currently out on bail. He had applied for his impounded passport to be released to participate in the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, for which he will have to travel abroad.

Sheezan’s lawyer Shailendra Mishra said,“ We are grateful to the honourable court that has permitted Sheezan to travel abroad for Khatron Ke Khiladi.”

Sheezan added: “I had full faith that justice wouldn’t be denied.”

The actor’s sister, Falaq Naaz, who was also present at the hearing, said, “I am delighted that my brother will be able to earn his livelihood again.”

Sheezan was arrested after Tunisha’s mother filed a complaint alleging that he had abetted the actress’ suicide. Tunisha reportedly died by suicide on the set of their TV show, Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul on December 24.
