Actress
Pratyusha
Banerjee
who
became
a
household
name
for
her
role
as
Anandi
in
the
show
Balika
Vadhu
has
passed
away
in
the
year
2016
by
suicide.
Her
demise
had
sent
shockwaves
in
the
entire
television
industry.
However,
her
parents
had
filed
a
case
against
her
then-boyfriend
and
actor
Rahul
Raj
Singh
for
abetment
of
suicide.
Now
her
father
has
opened
up
about
him
facing
a
financial
crisis.
The
late
actress'
father
Shankar
Banerjee
revealed
that
he
lost
everything
while
fighting
his
daughter's
case.
Speaking
to
Aaj
Tak
about
the
same,
he
said,
"After
this
accident,
it
seems
as
if
some
terrible
storm
has
come
and
has
taken
everything
away
from
us.
We
did
not
have
a
single
penny
left
with
us.
We
have
lost
everything
while
fighting
in
the
second
case.
We
had
no
support
other
than
Pratyusha.
She
was
the
one
who
took
us
to
the
sky
and
after
her
departure,
we
have
returned
to
the
floor.
Our
life
is
going
on
like
this.
We
are
now
forced
to
live
in
one
room.
This
case
took
away
everything
from
us.
Many
times,
there
has
been
a
situation
where
we
were
forced
to
take
loans."
However,
Pratyusha
Banerjee's
father
stressed
that
this
adversity
has
not
dimmed
their
courage
and
that
he
will
continue
to
fight
for
his
daughter.
He
said
that
his
wife
currently
works
at
a
child
care
centre.
The
Bigg
Boss
7
contestant's
father
further
said,
"Anyway,
a
father
never
gives
up.
I
want
to
fight
till
my
death
for
Pratyusha's
rights.
Pratyusha's
victory
is
our
last
hope
and
I
am
sure
we
will
win
one
day."
Earlier
Pratyusha
Banerjee's
ex-boyfriend
Rahul
Raj
Singh
who
had
allegedly
become
the
main
accused
for
homicide
after
her
death
had
revealed
to
Spotboye
that
he
is
still
waiting
for
the
court
to
clear
his
name.
Rahul
had
told
the
portal
that
he
did
not
kill
the
late
actress
but
instead,
her
parent's
greed
did.
He
had
revealed
that
Pratyusha
was
not
able
to
cater
to
the
demands
of
her
parents
that
led
her
to
take
this
step.
He
had
further
lashed
out
at
actress
Kamya
Punjabi
and
producer
Vikas
Gupta
for
allegedly
accusing
him
of
Pratyusha's
demise.
