Speculations About Hindi TV Actress Pratyusha Banerjee's Suicide

The sad case of the famous hind tv actress Pratyusha Banerjee's alleged suicide have given rise to a multitude of speculations about what actually happened and why. The star of "Ballika Vadhu" fame was found dead in her home in Gurgaon on the 1st of April.

It has been suggested that the suicide may have been brought on by difficulties in her relationship with her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh. He has in the past few days been questioned by the police, after which he - in a dramatic turn of events - was admitted to ICU on Sunday with chest pains. The police is now intending to question their friends and acquaintances to seek to verify Rahul's story. Rahul was the one who found her in her apartment and reported the case to the police.

Boyfriend, Rahul, was apparently in financial trouble and a case had earlier in the year been registered against him for loan defaulting and assault of a loan officer. Further adding mystery to the issue is an incident where unknown men posing as police barged into the Hindi TV live actress' house molesting her and seeking to reclaim money owed by Rahul. Rahul was at the time registered and known as residing there. 

More suspicions have been cast towards Rahul. First of all, he had recently been seen slapping her hard in a nasty argument the two had had in shopping mall. Secondly, rumors have been flying about a potential reunion of Rahul with ex-girlfriend Saloni Sharma - even suggesting the two had secretly gotten engaged.

Engagement and marriage might very well be at the heart of the issue. Friends have been quoted saying that Pratyusha had been actively planning for their wedding. It has been suggested that Pratyusha's and Rahul's many tiffs might indeed be caused by the question of whether to get married or not. The actress may have taken her own life questions are being asked as to whether he in any way brought her suicide on. The fact that she did not leave any suicide note indicates that her choice to end her life may have been done rashly and in a fit of despair.
