MUMBAI: Youtube sensation Danish Zehen’s sudden demise took the nation by storm. He lost his life in a massive car accident.

Danish’s death has been embroiled in controversy, with a lot of celebrities being blamed for milking his death for their own vested benefit. Child actress Arishfa Khan of Ek Veer Ki Ardaas Veera fame also bore the brunt of her alleged friendship with Danish. Arishfa’s family is tortured emotionally due the controversy and name-callings.

It all started with Arishfa’s video wherein she was crying and expressing grief soon after Danish’s death’s news broke out. Danish’s brother Gufran called it a publicity gimmick to earn followers. Since that day, Arishfa has been facing trolling and threats.

A very upset Arshifa told TellyChakkar in an exclusive chat, ‘Danish’s brother Guffran is behind our lives. He has tortured us too much since two months now, so much so that my mother almost hung herself the other day. Thankfully, my father came to her rescue at the nick of the time. The entire thing has spoiled my and my family’s name.’

Arishfa’s mother Arshi Naaz, who seemed very upset, said, ‘Guffran is playing mind games with us and forcing us to come live and speak about things again and again. We tried to ignore them to the best of our capacity, but now they are maligning my daughter’s name and character and portraying her to be his girlfriend, whereas Danish and Arishfa were just good friends. Danish was already dating a girl named Arafia.’

Arishfa added, ‘In a certain live session, Guffran also suggested that I could have murdered Danish. Now beat that. Everything that he says is a coated lie. He called my mother names, which is very disturbing. The entire scenario is too frustrating, as I am not even allowed to go out of my house alone. My tuitions are also suffering.’

To conclude, Arshi said, ‘We’ve had a lot and now will not be listening to their banters. I will reply to them and bounce back at them.’
