Abhishek Nigam joined Ali Baba to replace Sheezan Khan in January this year, days after the latter was arrested in connection to Tunisha Sharma death case. Sharma was found hanging in her makeup room on December 24, 2022. A day after her death, her co-star Sheezan was also arrested. Tunisha’s mother had accused him of abetment to suicide and had claimed that the actor ‘used’ her daughter. Reportedly, Khan and Sharma broke up just 15 days before the latter’s death. However, Sheezan was granted bail in March this year.

After joining the show, Abhishek talked about the comparisons that Ali Baba fans made between his performance and that of Sheezan Khan’s. He admitted that it is ‘very difficult, rather impossible’ to break the benchmark set by ‘previous actors’, and told interview with News18 Showsha that he does not pay attention to negativity.
