Rahul Raj Singh told Times Of India during an interaction, “Pratyusha was always open about her relationships. She never hid her personal life. Vikas Gupta is just making use of the situation because the person isn’t alive to respond to his claims.”

Rahul claimed that Pratyusha never dated Vikas and that she would have slapped Gupta if she would have been alive. He was quoted saying by the publication, “Pratyusha never dated Vikas, so the question of them parting ways doesn’t arise. In fact, they weren’t even on talking terms after a point. He shouldn’t cook up stories for publicity. Pratyusha would have slapped him had she been alive.”
