What caused actress Pratyusha Banerjee to end her life, is still probably a myth. While the reports state that it was her Boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh's trauma, other reports stated it was due to financial issues. Whatever the reason was, the TV industry sadly lost one of their star performers forever.

But now on the first death anniversary of the late actress, Pratyusha's bestie Kamya Punjabi is all set to pay her a tribute. Kamya apparently is set to release a short film, 'Hum Kuchh Keh Naa Sakey', online, in the memory of her best friend. Prrobably, this was the last project for Pratyusha, where sahe would be seen facing the camera before she ended her life.  Shot one-and-a-half months before her suicide, the film features Pratyusha in the lead. It bears an a kind of striking resemblance to the story of her real life with the subject revolving around heartbreak and depression.

Kamya, while talking to a daily said, "Though a work of fiction, it will seem quite similar to what Pratyusha must have gone through. She will be seen heartbroken, resorting to vices like drinking and smoking. As a narrator, I will interlink her reel and real lives, and question viewers on why people change in love and choose to remain silent sufferers. Pratyusha didn't use glycerine while shooting the emotional scenes. I too was nursing a heartbreak at that time." Pratyusha's beau on screen is called Rahul, much like her real-life boyfriend. "It was Pratyusha's decision to name the character Rahul," said Kamya.

Kamya who misses her BFF almost everyday, admits of regretting of nothaving taken out time during Pratyusha's difficult days to talk over her issues. "I wish we had spoken about our problems. I felt helpless watching the film. We couldn't shoot the climax as she ended her life before that," she sums up. Kamya recently posted a few pictures of herlsef and her bestie Pratyusha during their good old happy times.
