Kamasutra 3D actress, Saira Khan passed away on Friday morning after suffering from cardiac arrest. The actress was a part of this controversial movie and had replaced Sherlyn Chopra as the female lead for the same. Though she forayed into cinema with regional movies, Kamasutra 3D was touted as her Bollywood break. There were reports that suggested she's running to get her big break with 86th Academy Award-nominated movie. Kamasutra 3D Movie: Sexy and Hot Sherlyn Chopra Reveals Why She Backed Out, Watch Exclusive Video!

Rupesh Paul director of Kamasutra 3D reacted to her sudden demise and 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."

He's also surprised to see very few media portals covering her sad story. "I found out about the news and was shocked. Later 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." he added.

It's saddening to hear the news about her sudden demise and we pray for her soul to rest in peace.
