During the press conference conducted by Sheezan¡¯s family named a man called Sanjeev Kaushal multiple times and hurled several accusations at him. But who is he and how has he reacted to all allegations? Read ahead to know!
Sanjeev Kaushal is Tunisha¡¯s uncle. He is in roots from Chandigarh. The allegations quote that after the death of Tunisha¡¯s father at an early age, her mother Vanita Sharma had a reported relationship with Sanjeev which wasn¡¯t a thing that Tunisha liked. She incurred a lot of stress due to the same, claimed Sheezan¡¯s family.
Sanjeev and Vanita Sharma had ¡°control¡± over the actor¡¯s finances, and they gave her very little money to survive during her acting days. "Tunisha and Sanjeev Kaushal (an uncle in Chandigarh) had terrible relations. Sanjeev Kaushal and her mother, Vanita, used to control Tunisha¡¯s finances. Tunisha often pleaded in front of her mother for her own money," said Sheezan Khan¡¯s advocate.

He said, ¡°As far as being Tunisha's stepfather's allegation is concerned, I would say that I was not the stepfather but she was my daughter. Actually, Tunisha was so lovely that every father would wish to have a daughter like her. God bless, such a child should come to everyone's house. I loved her like my own daughter (Ritika).¡±
¡°My family treated her like their own child. Here, people are talking rubbish about me as a stepdad, Pawan (uncle) as a boyfriend. We will respond. After the prayer meet organised for Tunisha, we all will answer each of the allegations. If we have to go through the legal way too, that won¡¯t be a problem. As they say, Sach ko aanch nahi, that's it,¡± he concluded.
