The death of 25-year-old tennis player Radhika Yadav, who was allegedly shot dead by her father in Gurugram, has raised questions about possible family tensions surrounding a music video she featured in alongside actor Inam-ul-Haq. Amid speculation that the video might have triggered conflict within her family, Inam-ul-Haq has said that Radhika had told him during the shoot that her father liked the song, indicating that she had her family’s approval before taking up the project.
Radhika Yadav was killed at her residence in Gurugram, reportedly after being shot four times by her father, Deepak Yadav. Following her death, a music video featuring her and Inam-ul-Haq, produced by Zeeshan Ahmad under LLF Records in 2024, was widely circulated on social media, with reports claiming her father may have objected to her appearance in the video. However, police sources have clarified that there is no concrete evidence to suggest that Deepak Yadav was upset over the video or her social media activities.
Actor’s Account of Radhika’s Final Project
Inam-ul-Haq, who worked with Radhika on the project, shared that she came to the set with her mother on the day of the shoot in Noida, which lasted around five hours. According to him, Radhika mentioned on set that her father liked the song used in the video, suggesting that she had discussed the project with her family before participating. Inam-ul-Haq also noted that Radhika’s entire family was aware of her involvement in the video and that she appeared to have received permission to feature in it.
While discussing the nature of their professional interaction, the actor said that Radhika expressed her interest in pursuing opportunities in the film and music industry when they met. She conveyed her desire to work in the industry during their first meeting, but they did not remain in touch after the project was completed. The shoot, as Inam-ul-Haq described, was completed in a single day, reflecting the straightforward nature of the project.
Speculation and Clarifications Amid Ongoing Investigation
The actor further mentioned that Radhika did not promote the music video extensively after its release and had deactivated and reactivated her Instagram account multiple times. Despite the video circulating widely online following her death, the reason behind her father’s alleged actions remains unclear, with police officials reiterating that there is no solid evidence linking the murder to the music video or her online presence.
Inam-ul-Haq clarified that his connection with Radhika was purely professional and that they did not discuss her family matters during the shoot. His statements come at a time when social media has been flooded with speculation about the potential link between the music video and the tragic incident, prompting the need for clarity regarding Radhika’s intentions and family dynamics leading up to her death.
The music video, which has now become a part of the conversation surrounding Radhika’s death, reflects her brief step into the entertainment industry, a move she reportedly made with the knowledge of her family. As investigations continue, the focus remains on understanding the factors that led to the tragic killing while separating speculation from facts surrounding Radhika Yadav’s life and choices in her final days.
