Payal while quoting that TV is stressful and one needs help with coping with it said she is upset with how Tunisha’s family were less careful.

In a video shared by ETimes, Payal quoted, "She was 20 years old. In a 2018 interview, she spoke about fighting depression and said she is not mentally that strong. So, her family, the elders in the family, had to take extra care. She was the earning member of the family. So, there is a pressure to work.”

“Bohut important hai ki bade log dhyan de apne bacho ke upar ki woh kaise cope up kar rahe hain work stress ke sath because television work is very, very stressful. I have worked in a couple of serials. We used to be stubborn and leave for home from the sets after 12 hours of work, but the newcomers, they work for 15 hours.”

“And if they are the lead of a show, they have no time frame, at all. Therefore, mental health is not maintained for TV actors, and I feel that is wrong. Along with all this, I am not sure about the other angle (alleged involvement of Sheezan Khan in Tunisha's death), but whatever it is let the police and proper agencies do the investigation," she concluded.

The father of TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee who also died by alleged suicide in 2016 quoted Tanisha’s death as ‘murder’.

Shankar Banerjee told Aaj Tak, “When I read the news about Tunisha, I felt very sad. Suddenly my old wounds became fresh. Being a father, I can understand the condition of Tunisha's mother right now. To be honest, as much as I can understand Tunisha's death, it seems like murder to me. In the last few years, all murders are being given the form of suicide.”

“Something similar happened with Sushant Singh Rajput. When I was talking to my wife, both of us were crying that again a mother has lost her innocent 20-year-old daughter. Her grief seems like our own. If someone commits suicide intentionally, he makes sure that he leaves behind a note or letter so that other people do not suffer. This is a 100 per cent murder case,” he added.
