All about Tunisha Sharma

Born on January 4, 2002, Sharma hailed from Chandigarh and starred in a number of TV shows from an early age. Prior to being cast in Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul, she started her career with Maharana Pratap and went on to star in other shows, namely Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Gabbar Poonchwala, Internet Wala Love, Sher-e-Punjab: Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Ishq Subhan Allah.

Working in these shows also opened the gates of Bollywood for her as she was seen in movies like Dabangg 3, Kahaani 2, Baar Baar Dekho, and Fitoor. She is remembered for playing the role of Katrina Kaif’s younger self in both Fitoor (Firdaus) and Baar Baar Dekho (Diya Kapoor).

She is said to have gone to the washroom following which suspicion arose as she did not return for a long time. She was later found hanging inside when the door was broken down. Allegedly suspected to be a suicide, the police said that they would probe the actor’s death from the murder angle as well.
