Here's Why You Just Can't Miss Pratyusha Banerjee' s Last Unreleased Short Film!

Nearly a year has passed since TV’s beloved Balika Vadhu actress Pratyusha Banerjee shocked everyone by committing suicide after she hung herself from a fan in her house. She was last seen in the popular TV serial Sasural Simar Ka and also participated in the reality show Power Couple alongside her beau Rahul Raj Singh, who is the prime accused in the case and alleged to have forced Pratyusha into ending her life.

There were however a few projects Pratyusha left unfinished and now her best friend, actress Kamya Punjabi has taken it upon herself to bring out a short film titled Hum Kuchh Keh Naa Sakey, of which Pratyusha was a part of. The short film will be released by her on the first death anniversary of the Baalika Vadhu actress, that is, 1^st April 2017.

The surprising part is that the short film which was shot more than a month and a half before Pratyusha’s suicide, bears uncanny resemblance her own life. Yes! It is the story of a girl who is heartbroken about her relationship and falls into depression leading her to take a drastic step.

Kamya in an interview with a leading daily, “Though a work of fiction, it will seem quite similar to what Pratyusha must have gone through. She will be seen heartbroken, resorting to vices like drinking and smoking. As a narrator, I will interlink her reel and real lives, and question viewers on why people change in love and choose to remain silent sufferers. Pratyusha didn’t use glycerine while shooting the emotional scenes. I too was nursing heartbreak at that time.”

Pratyusha however did not live on to complete the film. Another striking part of the film is that, the male protagonist is named Rahul which is also similar to Pratyusha’s real life. About this Kamya said “It was Pratyusha’s decision to name the character Rahul.”

Kamya who has always been really emotional about her best friend’s death also added, “I wish we had spoken about our problems. I felt helpless watching the film. We couldn’t shoot the climax as she ended her life before that.”
