Almost two months after he was released on bail in the Tunisha Sharma death case, things have started to look up for actor Sheezan Khan. He has been offered the stunt-based reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi. However, the show involves travelling abroad and if he can do that will depend on whether the Vasai sessions court gives him the clearance when the matter comes up for hearing today.

Sheezan was arrested for abetment of suicide on December 25, 2022, based on a complaint filed by Tunisha’s mother, Vanita Sharma. A day earlier, the actress had died, reportedly by suicide, on the set of the TV show, Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul, which starred both Tunisha and Sheezan. The two were in a relationship and had split around two weeks before Tunisha’s death. After spending 70 days in jail, Sheezan finally got bail on March 5.

During his time in jail, Sheezan was replaced by actor Abhishek Nigam in Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul.

Tunisha’s mother reacted to the news of Sheezan being approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi and released a statement to us that said: “We will oppose Sheezan’s application today to release his passport. I have heard that Sheezan has been offered reality shows, including Khatron Ke Khiladi. What message are channels wanting to impart to society by giving a chance to someone who is an undertrial for a serious offense under section 306 of IPC and against whom the police have submitted a charge sheet of 524 pages? Log TV par apne favourite actors ko dekhkar unko apna idol bana lete hain aur unke jaise banne ki koshish karte hain. I request TV channels and makers to not glorify anyone who has not been proven innocent.”

A month after getting bail in the Tunisha Sharma death case, the prime accused, actor Sheezan Khan, filed an application in Maharashtra’s Vasai court on Monday, seeking the return of his passport, which was seized during the investigation. The court will hear Khan’s application today.

According to sources, in his application, Khan stated that he needed to fly abroad for shootings.

The Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul actor was arrested in December last year and was under judicial custody before being released on bail from Thane Central Jail on March 5. The Vasai Court had ordered Sheezan’s bail with a Rs. 1 lakh surety bond and had asked the actor to submit his passport as well.

Khan was reportedly dating his co-star Tunisha, who died by suicide at the show’s set a fortnight after the duo broke up their months-long relationship. Within hours of the actor’s death, Khan was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide.

Tunisha’s mother, Vanita Sharma, levelled allegations against Khan, stating that he used to beat her daughter and force her to adopt Islamic practises.

However, Khan’s family had claimed that he had been falsely implicated in the case by the late actor’s mother and further claimed that the 21-year-old was like “family” to them.

Later, Khan’s sister and co-actor Falaq Naaz reportedly accused Tunisha’s mother of “neglecting” her, and the actor’s depression was due to her childhood trauma.

“Tunisha’s mother accepted that she had been neglecting her daughter and didn’t take care of her. Tunisha’s depression was due to her childhood trauma,” stated Falaq Naaz.
