Late television actress, Pratyusha Banerjee was best known for her character 'Anandi' in the popular television serial, Balika Vadhu. However, her drastic step of taking her life had shocked the entire nation along with her friends, family and close ones.

Finally, he is ready to return on-screen with his new album, Beparwah 2.

In an interview with Aaj Tak, Rahul Raj Singh opened up about how his ex-girlfriend, Pratyusha Banerjee's death, severely impacted him. He mentioned that he was so much wrecked by the incident that sleeping pills were also useless. Thus, he was given sleep injections. However, he added people blamed him for Pratyusha's death and how he was blamed for it. Rahul said:
“I was unconscious for two to three days when the accident happened. When sleeping pills did not work, efforts were made to make me sleep by giving injections. People are telling me I am responsible for her death. How can I be responsible for someone’s death?"

Further, in the same interview, Rahil claimed that his ex-girlfriend, Pratyusha was worried about her parent's debt, hinting it to be a reason to take such a drastic step in her life. However, Rahul also quipped that the late actress had a habit of frightening him by enacting "suicide", and she used to do it often. Thus, Rahul claimed that on the dreadful night of April 1, 2016, Pratyusha's foot must have slipped while making such hanging videos, which led to such an incident. Rahul added:
"I had a party with her just the night before. I didn’t provoke her, but she was worried about her parents’ debt. I do not consider it suicide. Pratyusha was making hanging videos to scare me. She often used to do this; only then must her foot have slipped.”
Talking about the incident, Pratyusha Banerjee was found hanging from a fan at her Goregaon, Mumbai house on April 1, 2016.
