During his interrogation the actor has so far detailed three reasons to the police for ending his relationship with Tunisha.
He has cited the age difference between the two for breaking up. Secondly, he said that they are both from different religions and thirdly he said that both their families were opposed to their relationship, so they broke up," the police said.

Addressing a press conference earlier, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Chandrakant Jadhav said that Tunisha and Sheezan were having an affair and had broken up 15 days ago.
Sheezan was arrested on December 25 for abetment of suicide after Tunisha's mother registered a police complaint against him. According to the postmortem report Tunisha died because of suffocation after hanging.
Tunisha was found dead on the sets of her TV serial.
No suicide note was recovered at the spot by police.
Earlier on Monday, the deceased actor's mother accused Sheezan Khan, the prime suspect in her daughter's death case of cheating on her and breaking his promise to marry her as she urged the police not to spare him.
Vanita Sharma accused her daughter's former boyfriend of cheating on Tunisha and said Sheezan broke up with the 21-year-old despite promising to marry her.
Releasing a statement, Tunisha's mother said, "Sheezan cheated on Tunisha. Started a relationship with her first, promised her of marriage and then broke up with her."
"He (Sheezan) had involvement with another girl, while he was in a relationship with Tunisha," she added.
Sheezan Khan has reportedly told police that he was "so disturbed by the atmosphere in the country that emerged after the gruesome murder of Shraddha Walkar" allegedly by her live-in partner, that Khan decided to end their relationship, sources said on Monday.
During his first day in police custody on Sunday, Sheezan told Waliv police that he ended the relationship with Tunisha after seeing repercussions emerging from the Shraddha Walkar case and told his former paramour that belonging to a different community stands in their way as did their age gap.
During interrogation, Sheezan further revealed that Tunisha had earlier also attempted suicide after they broke up. "Tunisha had recently tried to commit suicide a few days before her death, but at that time I saved her and told Tunisha's mother to take special care of her," police sources quoted Sheezan as saying.
On Sunday, a court in Vasai, Maharashtra, sent Sheezan to police custody for four days in connection with Tunisha's alleged suicide case.
Waliv Police produced Khan in the court after his arrest in the case for abetment to suicide. The case was registered against him under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.
