Speaking of the hearing, the public prosecutor reportedly opposed Sheezan's bail appeal. He alleged that Sheezan is not cooperating in the investigation and added that he is changing his statement. During the hearing, it was argued that Sheezan had deleted many of his WhatsApp chats, which were recently recovered from his rumoured secret girlfriend's phone.
Tunisha's co-star and rumoured ex-boyfriend Sheezan has been accused of abetting the actress' suicide. Sheezan's lawyer said in court
that his client is innocent. Advocate Shailendra Mishra said, “All we want to say is that truth and justice will prevail. We have full faith in the judiciary and I reiterate that Sheejan Mohd Khan is innocent and she and her family are suffering because of police incompetence. He has misused the power of arrest.” For the unversed, Tunisha was found hanging on the set of her serial Ali Baba: DastaanE-Kabul near Vasai in the adjoining Palghar district on December 24. Sheezan was taken under custody after Tunisha’s mother accused him of abetting suicide. 38 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, January, 2023

“this journey of mrs india Australia 2022 has been an incredible experience. i decided to participate in the beauty Pageant as i wanted to challenge herself as i firmly believes that if you want to grow you need to come out of your comfort zone. i started my journey a few months ago when i started with a professional photo shoot for camera-facing confidence and took training to speak in public. i am also also a writer and for my talent round, i composed and recited a poem on women's empowerment. this pageant was in two stages. the first stage included an introduction, photoshoot, ramp walk and talent round. the second stage was the social impact project.
For my social impact project, I want to help women who suffer from a lack of self-esteem ,self-confidence and self-love. I want to build a happy and healthy community where a woman can support other women.
My message for other women is “ Nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself and put your heart and hard work into it and every woman is a queen and every girl is a princess , it's just a matter of realising .”
