Film producer Krishan Kumar faced a harrowing personal tragedy earlier this year when his 20-year-old daughter, Tishaa Kumar, passed away. Initial reports claimed that Tishaa succumbed to cancer. But now, Krishan’s wife, Tanya Singh, alleges that Tishaa did not have cancer and was a victim of medical malpractice and misdiagnosis.

In a long note posted on Instagram on Thursday night, Tanya broke her silence on her daughter’s death and claimed that she and her family were “sucked into the medical trap”.

Posting some old pictures and videos of Tishaa, Tanya wrote in the caption, “A lot of people have been writing and asking me to tell what happened. Truth is subjective & relative to how one perceives it. When a pure, innocent soul goes through injustice due to someone, some other bad doings, things get complicated and confusing & suddenly it’s too late!”

Referring to medical malpractice and misdiagnosis, she said that “no one can escape the wrath of their Karmic deeds” adding, “Having said that, my daughter Tishaa, no matter what went down, she never, not once gave in to fear or depression. She has been the bravest version of brave, the most fearless and cool 20-year-old ever, and that’s what Tishaa wanted to spread to kids her age.”

“The ‘truth’ is that my daughter did not have ‘cancer’ to begin with. She had a vaccine at age 15&1/2 which possibly triggered an autoimmune situation, which was wrongly diagnosed (we did not know this at the time),” Tanya added, advising parents to get a second & third opinion before going in for a ‘bone-marrow’ test or a biopsy if their child gets swollen lymph nodes.
