Mumbai: As the Mumbai police are probing the alleged suicide of television actress Pratyusha Banerjee, some of her friends said things were not going well in her personal life.
The 24 years old actress, known for her role in the TV serial Balika Vadhu, was found hanging from the ceiling at her house on Friday.
"There were injury marks on her nose, under her eyes. We have taken pictures (as a proof)....police are probing domestic violence angle. We will give our statement to the police," Pratyusha's actress friend Kamya Punjabi told reporters.
Producer Vikas Gupta said he had offered a show to Pratyusha, but she was not keen to accept the offer because of the trouble in her personal life.
"She was having trouble in her personal life. She had distanced us from her so we don't know exactly what happened. She was away from her family...we used to meet her everyday. As friends we know she was having problem," Vikas said.
Kamya, as well as actress Smita Bansal and Vikas also denied the reports that she had financial problems.
"She was not facing any financial problem as alleged. She had never asked for money from us. She had done a reality show recently," Kamya said.
Actress Surbhi Chaterjee, who knew Pratyusha for around fifteen years, said Pratyusha was excited about her marriage with her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh when they spoke a fortnight ago.
"Pratyusha was a very bold girl... she cannot commit suicide," Surbhi said.
