Actors’ association calls production house “careless”, producers’ council says impractical to keep ambulances on 200 sets of TV shows

If the families of deceased actor Tunisha Sharma and her ex-boyfriend Sheezan Mohammed have been attempting to hold one another accountable for ruining her personal life, those associated with her professional commitments are also now coming under the scanner. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has suggested that Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul producers Alind Shrivastava and Nissar Parvez be held accountable for their “carelessness”, and inability to “easily save the life” of Sharma who killed herself in the midst of a shooting schedule.
The federation’s BN Tiwari says, “An FIR should be registered against the producers. We could have easily saved the life of this actor, had we paid attention to what was happening. They had neither an ambulance nor a counsellor on the set. It is imperative to have a counsellor who can speak to the actors to support and examine them. In due course of time, this will become a norm. It is important to make actors feel comfortable.” Tiwari suggests that had an ambulance been present on the set, the deceased actor could have been brought to the hospital sooner.
