Mental trauma
Khan wants to seek therapy
Earlier, a source close to Sheezan Khan told NewsBytes on Friday that Khan is suffering from mental trauma due to the accusations leveled against him regarding his 20-year-old co-star's alleged suicide. The source further revealed Khan has informed his family about his mental health condition and wants to meet a therapist upon being released on bail. He wants to begin his counseling sessions soon.
Allegations
Counter allegations against Sharma's mother
Sharma's mother, Vanita Sharma, earlier accused Khan's family of forcing her daughter to wear a hijab. In response, Khan's sisters, TV actors Shafaq Naaz and Falak Naaz, along with their mother, claimed the late actor was depressed due to her mother. They also reportedly said that Sharma spoke of depression in an old interview, and alleged her family didn't do anything to help her.
