The family urged all to help them heal as they grieve the loss, by not ‘encouraging, entertaining or spreading the the fake rumours’.

“Disha was someone’s daughter, someone’s sister and someone’s friend. You all have someone who is fulfilling these roles in your lives. Look at them and tell us, how would you be feeling if same would be happening to your dear ones."

"Empathy is the basic quality that makes us human. So let’s be human first. Please let her Rest in Peace and let's spread kindness," the statement concluded.

Disha had reportedly died by jumping off the 14th floor of her apartment in Mumbai's Malad on June 8. Her death was mourned by the stars of the film industry. Sushant had called it ‘devastating’, while Varun was ‘speechless’ and called it ‘unreal.’
