Shocking! Kamasutra 3D actress passes away due to cardiac arrest
Saira Khan, who replaced Bollywood actress Sherlyn Chopra in Rupesh Paul's Kamasutra 3D, a remake of Kamasutra: A Tale of Love, passed away on Friday morning. According to media reports, the actress died due to cardiac arrest.
Saira Khan belonged from a conservative Muslim family and her journey in the film industry had not been easy. Once while talking about the actress, director Rupesh Paul said, “It was difficult for Saira to sign the film because she came from a very conservative Muslim family and to make a debut with such a bold film after all the fuss in the media about it was in itself challenging. It took us months to finally get her on board but the wait was worth it as nobody else could’ve done justice to the movie unlike her,"
"I found out about the news and was shocked. Later, I noticed that nobody had reported it and that was even more shocking. She deserved to be recognised for her performance and to remain unknown even after the brilliance she had is even more hurtful. It’s a mourning time for us and I hope she Rests in Peace," he further added.
Let us tell you that Kamasutra 3D was banned in India and it never released in the country. While the film was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The film had actors like Makarand Deshpande, Milind Gunaji, Gajendra Chauhan, Amit Behl, and others. The film was supposed to have Sherlyn Chopra previously but later she was replaced by Saira Khan.
