Her note read, “Though, it was not meant to turn out this way, You are the strongest, bravest, coolest, always showering your light & love, night or day, we both know it’s the wrong ‘narrative’ there was no ‘prolonged battle’.”

It was reported that Tishaa died after “prolonged battle” with cancer. A source close to the family told indianexpress.com, “Tishaa was just 21. She was diagnosed with cancer and the family decided to take her to Germany for treatment. She passed away there on Thursday. It is a very sad time for the family.”
