Actor Shashank Vyas honored his late co-star Pratyusha Banerjee on the 10th anniversary of her passing by sharing a heartfelt tribute on social media. He posted a monochrome portrait of Pratyusha, expressing that she will always remain in his memories even after a decade. Shashank and Pratyusha gained fame through the popular TV show Balika Vadhu, where they portrayed the characters of Jagdish and Anandi, respectively.
Their on-screen chemistry and performances in Balika Vadhu were adored by viewers, as the show tackled the sensitive topic of child marriage, becoming a significant and enduring drama in Indian television. Pratyusha Banerjee, known for her role in Balika Vadhu, also appeared in other shows like Sasural Simar Ka and participated in Bigg Boss 7.
Pratyusha’s sudden death in 2016, believed to be by suicide, left the industry and her fans in shock, with reports indicating personal and relationship struggles. Balika Vadhu featured a talented cast including Surekha Sikri, Siddharth Shukla, Anup Soni, Smita Bansal, Avika Gor, and Avinash Mukherjee. Unfortunately, three of the show’s iconic actors, Pratyusha Banerjee, Surekha Sikri, and Siddharth Shukla, are no longer with us.
