Twisha Sharma's co-actor Swetaa Varma reacts to her death, seeks fair probe
Swetaa Varma has expressed shock over Twisha Sharma's death and called for a proper investigation. The case has widened after police booked Sharma's husband and mother-in-law and an SIT began its probe.
Actor Twisha Sharma’s death has sparked shock among her colleagues, with her Mugguru Monagallu co-star Swetaa Varma saying she hopes the truth comes out through a proper investigation. Sharma, 33, who was from Noida, was found dead on May 12 at the Bhopal residence of her husband, lawyer Samarth Singh, in the Katara Hills area.
Reacting to the news, Varma said she was struggling to process Sharma’s sudden death, especially as it came just six months after her marriage. In an Instagram post, she recalled their time working together on the 2021 Telugu drama, describing Sharma as someone who brought warmth and positivity to the set.
“Still in shock hearing that she is no more, especially just six months after getting married. I had the opportunity to work with her in the movie Mugguru Monagallu. Though our interaction was brief, we shared some fun conversations and a lot of laughter. She carried such positive energy and never seemed like someone who would take such a step. I truly hope the investigation is conducted properly, the truth comes out, and justice is served (sic),” Swetaa wrote.

Earlier in the day, actor Dheekshith Shetty, who also worked with Sharma in the same film, also expressed shock. Speaking to Hindustan Times, The Girlfriend actor 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.”
Shetty also said he had not known about Sharma’s marriage. “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 her 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,” he added.
Sharma’s death, the reaction from her co-stars, and the case registered against her husband and mother-in-law have put the focus on the ongoing investigation, with an SIT now looking into the matter.
The case has also drawn attention because police have registered a case against Samarth Singh and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, under charges of dowry harassment and abetment of suicide. A Special Investigation Team has been formed to probe the allegations further.
