Gone too soon! The actress was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her home in the Mumbai suburb of Goregaon. Police are looking into what may have caused her to take her life at such a young age. There’s no word yet on if she left behind any type of suicide note or message as to why she took such a drastic step to end her life. Her cremation ceremony was held on April 2.
The news was confirmed by her close friend and fellow actress Kamya Punjab. Pratyusha’s former co-star Sidharth Shukla told Bollywood Life that she was stunned by the news of her untimely death.”I also just heard the news and I am shocked,” adding, “This is indeed very sad and depressing.”
The site claimed that Pratyusha had become “extremely depressed” over her relationship with boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh, who she was due to marry soon. Her social media accounts show her looking happy with her handsome man, but apparently there was trouble within the relationship. The pair had appeared on the TV show Power Couple together recently.
If Pratyusha was hurting, she sure didn’t let it show to the outside world. Power Couple participant Salil Ankola said, “Pratyusha and I worked together only a month ago. She was looking forward to her wedding. I just have no words to how shocking this news is. She was a chirpy and fun loving girl. I am still wondering why she took such a step.”
Our thoughts go out to Pratyusha’s family and friends during this devastating time.
