Rahul Raj Opens Up about Pratyusha's Suicide: I don't wish to Indulge in Mud-Slinging with Anyone!

Pratyusha Banerjee's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh have finally spoken up to a popular daily, about all allegations faced by him.

When Rahul was asked whether Pratyusha was suicidal, he said he never felt so. He also never wanted to end his relationship with her, he said, "People fight in every relationship but we have never had any major argument. We would fight like any other normal couple. No one can claim that they don't fight. It would be a lie."

Rahul said Pratyusha was aware of his marriage and divorce with Sougata Mukherjee, he claimed, "Of course, she knew about my marriage. My engagement was covered in newspapers.It was in full media glare. It was a mutual separation with my ex-wife and the divorce came through in 2013.

Rahul was asked about his joint bank account with Pratyusha and as it was reported whether he took charge of her credit and debit cards, he revealed, "Everything has been presented to the court and the truth will be revealed in due course. She didn't have a joint account with me. All the accounts were with her mother. In fact, I was the first one to open her solo account because she never had anything of her own. She wouldn't have any answer to my questions. I even got her Aadhaar card made.She didn't even have a passport. She has done well for herself, then how come she didn't have a single property in her name? She was in depression and had several loans on her name before I entered her life. Her EMIs were not paid on time either. A 23-year-old couldn't handle that pressure. I knew her for eight months and it was too less a time to get into someone's personal zone. We started staying together three months ago. That's when I learnt about the financial stress and depression she was going through. I even spoke to her parents two days before the incident. They never said anything against me in their first statement. If I was torturing their daughter, they would have accused me of her death first. They are doing it under the influence of people around them. I won't do that two days later as an afterthought. I want them to be with me, who they considered their son, during this difficult time. I still can't believe that she is no more. I have also been accused of being a father to a nine-year-old kid. I demand proof. Time will tell who is on the right.

He was further asked about his source of income to which Rahul said, "I won a pageant in 2004, and have featured in shows like Amber Dhara, Mata Ki Chowki and Ganesh Leela. I have done more than 600 episodes. I have an event company and we recently organised a Holi bash. I am also into film production, marketing and distribution. People, who are accusing me of swindling her money , need to know that I only took Rs 10,000 from Power Couple and requested the team to transfer the rest of the money to Pratyusha's account."

Recently, her maid revealed that Rahul used to abuse Pratyusha and did not let her work. Rahul rubbished all these allegations by stating, "In fact, I would push her to leave for work as I would get calls on her behalf. She did Power Couple and Sasural Simar Ka after meeting me. Did Pratysusha ever complain about me? Why would she get my name inked and then order a bridal lehenga three days before the incident?"

Pratyusha's parents did not let Rahul attend Pratyusha's funeral, as police stated her parents had objections. Her parents even accused Rahul of brainwashing her against them to which Rahul said, "I have phone calls and messages from them requesting me to help them iron out their differences with Pratyusha, which I often tried to do. I was in touch with them on a regular basis. They would also ask me to clear their EMIs. I have stayed with her mother before Power Couple and had a cordial relationship with her. There are several accusations. If I sit and start addressing every single of them, I would end up behaving like them. I don't wish to indulge in mud-slinging with anyone. If it was so bad, why didn't they take their daughter away? They were aware she was in Ranchi and Kolkata with me."
