SHAKTI: Kamya Punjabi Steps On The Table To Commit Suicide & Memories Of Pratyusha Banerjee Come Rolling Back
Kamya Punjabi was all set to shoot for an important sequence in Shakti- Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki when she was reminded of her best friend, Pratyusha Banerjee. Read on...
Pratyusha Banerjee’s untimely death (on April 1, 2016)
has left an indelible impact on Kamya Punjabi. The actresses had first met on
Bigg Boss 7 and were inseparable ever since.
Kamya stood by Pratyusha’s family through testing times and has been vocal about Rahul Raj Singh’s involvement in Pratyusha’s death and continues to fight for her.
A couple of days ago, the late actress made Kamya cry
inconsolably.
The story goes thus. Kamya, who essays the role of Preeto
on Colors’ Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, was shooting for a suicide sequence.
The scene had her character standing on a table and trying to hang herself from
a fan. However, the moment the actress stepped on the table, she began crying
inconsolably. So much so, the shoot had to be halted.
A source from set told SpotboyE.com, “Kamya was bawling.
She told those present that the moment she stood on the table and was about to
enact the suicide scene, memories of Pratyusha flashed in front of her. She
could feel that her best friend must have gone through immense pressure to get
to that stage.”
“In this sequence, family members react instantly and
save Kamya’s character in the nick of time. Kamya wished Pratyusha too had
loved ones around,” adds the source.
It was after much cajoling that the actress agreed to
give the shot.
When contacted, Kamya said, “I have nothing to say! This
is something I will never be able to talk about! Hope you understand!”
Meanwhile, Kamya Punjabi shared a heart-rending post on
Pratyusha’s birthday in August this year.
Earlier this year Kamya also released Pratyusha's last
short film, titled Hum Kuch Keh Naa Sakey. Pratyusha’s
boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh had tried to get a stay order on the release, but
didn’t manage to do so.
This was one genuine friendship.
