The family of Twisha Sharma, a model and actress who was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12, 2025, has publicly rejected allegations made by her mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh. Singh claimed that Twisha was a drug addict and suffered from mental illness, which her family has labeled as 'character assassination'. Twisha's father, Navnidhi Sharma, demanded that the accused prove their allegations in court, stating that defaming a deceased person is a serious offense. He described Twisha as a dynamic and educated woman, refuting claims of her being mentally ill. The family has also denied any financial dependency on her in-laws, asserting that they were attempting to sabotage her career. Following a court ruling that denied anticipatory bail to her husband, Samarth Singh, who is currently absconding, the Bhopal police have offered a reward for information leading to his arrest. The family has requested that the investigation be moved outside Madhya Pradesh, citing concerns over bias in the local probe.
