Tunisha Sharma’s friend and actor Reem Sameer Shaikh lashed out at the media coverage of the 20-year-old’s funeral.

After attending the last rites of Tunisha, Reem took to Instagram Story and showed disappointment with the media capturing Tunisha’s mother in her difficult and unconscious state.

The note read, “Today as we lost a smile, we lost someone so full of life leave us soon. It was heartbreaking to let her go. Being an actor, our life is an open book and while we appreciate the fact that the media has always been a part of our highs and lows, we as a human also deserve a bit of privacy while dealing with an unbearable loss.”

She added, “Tunisha’s mom who was grateful to the media to spread her message, yet it was so disheartening to see the same media capture the mother in her worse and in an unconscious state who just lost her only child. It was boiling my blood to see during the rituals also we were asked to give quotes and speak what we feel. No words can describe what I feel.”
