{{/usCountry}}Vineet told ANI about Tunisha and Sheezan, "I never saw them fighting. Whatever it was between them was outside on sets. They were very professional. I believe in the Mumbai police and they will definitely look into all aspects of this case. It was sad to learn about the incident. She had such a promising career ahead of her. It was very unfortunate. I was shell-shocked."
