05 May 2023, Mumbai : One of the confirmed candidates for season 13 of the Rohit Shetty-hosted reality competition Khatron Ke Khiladi, actor Sheezan Khan, might get into trouble. Sheezan has petitioned the Vasai court for the return of his passport. He was granted permission to fly overseas after the court delivered its favourable ruling. Sheezan will now be free to travel abroad to film the reality programme based on stunts. Vanita Sharma, the mother of the late Tunisha Sharma, has not been pleased with this news. The mother of the deceased’s has now decided to take legal action to prevent Sheezan from taking part in this reality show.
According to sources, Vanita Sharma, the mother of Tunisha Sharma, has served Colours and Endemol with a legal notice for casting Sheezan Khan in Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 13. The channel declined to respond when Pinkvilla contacted them for comment.
The mother of Tunisha Sharma had previously rejected Sheezan’s request for the return of his passport. She had told Etimes TV, “What message are channels wanting to impart to society by giving a chance to someone who is an undertrial for a serious offense under section 306 of IPC and against whom the police have submitted a charge sheet of 524 pages? I request TV channels and makers to not glorify anyone who has not been proven innocent.”
After his ex-girlfriend and co-star Tunisha Sharma committed suicide in the makeup room of the programme Ali Baba: Dastaan-e-Kabul, Sheezan was detained on December 24 under section 306 of the IPC. Sheezan was the subject of a complaint from Tunisha Sharma’s mother accusing him of aiding suicide. But on March 4, the Vasai court in Maharashtra released the actor on bail after he had been detained for nearly two months.
Regarding Rohit Shetty’s programme, Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 was apparently scheduled to begin production in May and premiere in July. However, the broadcaster has not yet provided an official confirmation. On the other hand, Sheezan Khan’s most recent performance as Ali Baba was in the historical play Ali Baba Dataan-E-Kaabul.
