Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old, a resident of Noida, married Bhopal resident Samarth Singh in December 2025. She died on May 12, and her family has alleged mental torture and dowry harassment by her in-laws. Police have registered a case against the husband and his mother, Giribala Singh, who is a retired judge, and formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident.

Amid the ongoing probe, Mugguru Monagallu actor Dheekshith Shetty reacted with shock over Twisha’s death. Before moving to the corporate sector, Twisha had acted in the Telugu film Mugguru Monagallu and the Hindi movie Zara Sambhal Kay. She had also won the Miss Pune title during her modelling days.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Shetty said, “It’s very shocking news. I had always known her as this committed, hard-working girl who had a passion for whatever she was doing. She was so full of life, and it’s shocking to know that she took her own life." He added that the two had lost contact over time and had last spoken nearly four years ago. He also said he had no idea Twisha had gotten married.

He added, “I didn’t even know that she got married. We worked on that one film and then she went back to her place. She told me that she wanted to do her master’s degree and acting was not up to the mark of what she was expecting it to be. Her brother was in the Army and she realised it wasn’t her cup of tea, so she wanted to just go back and settle with her family."
