New Delhi:
The late television actress Pratyusha Banerjee's mother Soma Banerjee has claimed that her actress daughter was not in a live-in relationship with her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh. Mrs Banerjee said at the press conference, which was held on April 1 i.e. on Pratyusha's first death anniversary, that Rahul Raj misled her daughter and started staying at her place. "Who is Rahul to Pratyusha? What was his relationship with my late daughter? They were not in a live-in relationship. After coming to Mumbai, my daughter was not in a live-in relationship, Rahul was staying with us. He conspired, separated our daughter from us, and then started staying at her place, calling it a live-in relation. He conspired, created pressure on my daughter and killed her," Soma Banerjee was quoted by news agency IANS as saying.
Pratyusha's television friend Kamya Punjabi, who also released Pratyusha's short film, Hum Kuchh Na Kah Sakey, on April 1, was also there at the press meet and claimed that "if Rahul would have loved Pratyusha, he wouldn't have created controversy around her film".

Thereafter, Pratyusha's mother said, "No one has an idea of the pain a mother goes through, my daughter whom I brought back home as baby, and later as a body... a dead body from hospital... how will I live my life with this memory? How? Who will call me 'Ma'?"
