Like
everyone,
Pratyusha
Banerjee's
parents
are
shocked
with
Sidharth's
untimely
demise.
Pratyusha
and
Sidharth
Shukla
had
worked
together
in
Balika
Vadhu.
After
Sidharth's
death,
Pratyusha's
parents
revealed
how
Sidharth
stood
by
them
after
their
daughter
passed
away.
Her
father
also
revealed
that
he
had
forcibly
sent
Rs
20,000
during
the
lockdown.
He
was
quoted
by
India
Today
as
saying,
"I
can't
understand
how
this
happened.
I
considered
him
to
be
my
son.
During
Balika
Vadhu,
Sidharth
and
Pratyusha
had
become
close
friends.
He
used
to
come
home
as
well.
After
Pratyusha's
death,
many
people
talked
about
the
relationship
between
Sidharth
and
my
daughter,
because
of
which
Sidharth
had
stopped
coming
home.
He
often
asked
me
in
messages
on
WhatsApp."
Pratyusha's
father
further
added,
"During
this
lockdown,
he
used
to
constantly
message
me.
I
got
his
last
message
a
couple
of
months
ago.
He
used
to
ask
in
the
message
'Uncle,
aunty
do
you
need
help?',
'Are
you
guys
fine?',
'Can
I
help
in
any
way?'
He
had
forcibly
sent
₹20,000."
In
an
interview
with
TOI,
the
Balika
Vadhu
actress'
mother
too
recalled
Sidharth
coming
home
one
day
to
eat
litti-chokha,
a
special
dish.
She
called
him
'natkhat'
guy
and
revealed
that
he
spent
great
time
with
them.
She
revealed
that
Sidharth
genuinely
stood
by
them
when
Pratyusha
passed
away.
She
added
that
he
was
in
touch
with
them
even
after
her
demise
and
had
told
them
to
ask
him
if
they
needed
anything
without
any
hesitation.
She
also
said
that
she
had
been
to
Sidharth's
house
and
had
spent
some
time
with
him.
She
called
his
mother
a
sweet
lady.
