When things got out of hand Ajaz was politely asked to leave the cremation ground by the family members of the actress.

“I was very close to her. I never thought she would do something like this. She was too young to go” said Mahi Bhanushali close friend of the actress.

“I am very shocked. Never thought she could hang herself. We can get emotional and all that but we are awaiting her post-mortem report to know what happened. She was a strong girl. She could not have taken her own life. Ever since her parents left the city she was feeling lonely. We all were there for her, if only she called us” added another close friend Kunal verma.
