Actress Saira Khan.
Actress Saira Khan who played the lead role in 2013 film ‘Kamasutra 3D’, died of cardiac arrest.
Director of the film, Rupesh Paul express his grief over her untimely death and told a news portal, "I found out about the news and was shocked. To see nobody and nowhere it was even reported was even more shocking. She deserved to be recognised for her performance and to remain unknown even after the brilliance she had is even more hurtful. It's a mourning time for us and I hope she rests in peace.”
Praising the late actress for her work in his directorial, Rupesh said, "It was difficult for Saira to sign the film because she came from a very conservative Muslim family and to make a debut with such a bold film after all the fuss in the media about it was in itself challenging. It took us months to finally get her on board but the wait was worth it as nobody else could've done justice to the movie unlike her,"
Rupesh had cast Saira after replacing Sherlyn Chopra.
Saira did a few regional films before making her Bollywood debut with the film.
