Dedicated to a friend

TV actor Kamya Punjabi, recently released a short film featuring Pratyusha Banerjee, saying if the actor’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh had truly loved her, he would not have caused trouble in its release.

Rahul had filed a complaint against Kamya for releasing Pratyusha’s video. He claimed that the video is tampered and showed him in bad light. The Mumbai High Court had apparently passed a stay order against the film’s release. Rahul has been accused of abetting Pratyusha’s suicide. “We wanted to do something good for our friend but then some people came in between. How are they involved? If you truly loved her and say you cried every night for her, I don’t think you would’ve done this. You would’ve given love to the film, not controversy,” Kamya said. Rahul had accused the makers of using his name in the film and defaming him. Kamya says it was Pratyusha who chose the name ‘Rahul’ for one of the protagonists in the 18-minute fictional short film which talks about depression.

“Now that she (Pratyusha) isn’t here, she can’t tell you that she chose the name. So let’s leave it at that. Is Rahul the only guy in the world?  Rahul Raj Singh is not the hero of our film...”

“He is saying he has been shown on a bad light. You watch the film and see if the hero in the film abuses, or hits the girl?” Touted to be Pratyusha’s last, the movie chronicles her real life before she committed suicide last year.
 
“The film is about depression and ego hence the name is ‘Hum Kuch Keh Na Sake’. But he took the film to another track.”
