It has been 3 years since Pratyusha Banerjee left for the heavenly abode. The TV actress, popular for her role as Anandi in Balika Vadhu TV serial, allegedly committed suicide in her apartment. The news came as a shock to her close ones and the relatives as well, as they did not first believe it, thanks to the April Fool's day. It took time for her near and dear ones to digest the fact and they still can't get over the terrible incident. Her two closest friends, actress Kamya Panjabi and producer, Vikas Gupta remembered her through their Instagram posts.

An excerpt from his long heart melting post reads as, " I remember the call which I thought was a prank call and it reminds me of the 20 mins I sat alone looking at you.no one was there." He added, "I am sorry i wasn't there when you needed. Yes you never asked for help but this world is a little like that even when help is asked no one comes forward. We see signs but we avoid them. I really hope you are in a better place."
