Late TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was married to Air Hostess Sougata Mukherjee from Kolkata and wasn't even formerly divorced with her according to his former lawyer Neeraj Gupta. The revelation of his marriage to Sougata was reportedly made to the deceased actress only recently, before she committed suicide.
What shocked us more was that the guy was not only in touch with his ex-wife OR wife, he was even exchanging flirty and lovey-dovey messages with her on Facebook.
Rahul and Sougata were even meeting each other until, a year before he started seeing Pratyusha formally.

In an interview given to TOI in December over their participation in 'Power Couple', Rahul had revealed that he started dating Pratyusha in June 2015. He said, "We first met in 2013 at a common friend's birthday party, a year-and-a-half later at a club and then at my place for a party this year on June 21. We spent 14 hours at a stretch talking to each other and the next day again, we spent 13 more hours with each other."
However, he was in touch all this while with his Wife!
Reports also claim that Rahul was dating his ex-girlfriend Saloni Sharma before seeing Pratyusha but he did keep in touch with wife Sougata while seeing Saloni too.[SEE RAHUL-SALONI PICS HERE]

Filmy Monkey found their interactions right from the time they were married .. to the time they parted ways.. and which continued even while Pratyusha and Rahul were in full fledged relationship and were living in together.
The last interaction took place between the two as per Sougata's Facebook profile was not even 5 months ago, in November 2015. This was the time Rahul and Pratyusha were together and they were gearing up to participate in 'Power Couple' as a couple!
It happened when Rahul chose to comment on his wife's picture which she posted two years ago in November 2013 while they were supposedly living separately.
She looked super gorgeous in a neckless dress in this picture she had posted from a party. Rahul commented on this picture on November 24, 2015 writing.. "Beautifull as usual thaku".
Sougata replied to him along with others saying.. "Thanx Abeno,parazad & thaku,but its quite an old pic ;)"
The wink Sougata used in her reply was probably indicating that the picture was clicked while they were still together!
Rahul replied back again, saying, "I know thakuu".
As per reports and Rahul's former lawyer Neeraj, the two parted ways in 2014 but here's another picture Sougata shared from her diving experience and guess what! She actually went diving along with Rahul. This was 3 years after their marriage. To Be Noted that according to Rahul, he had already met Pratyusha the first time in 2013.
Sougata, in her comments to friends on this picture, revealed she was with her husband. When someone was apprehensive of diving, she wrote back.. "@ananya -knowing swimming was nt required,evn my hubby cnt swim but he did it with me coz I asured him tht I'll save his lyf if smethng goes wrng......lolz".
She referred to Rahul as 'hubby' meaning husband and revealed that he does not know how to swim.
Strange that Rahul did not ever tell Pratyusha he was married to Sougata, the woman he went diving only a year before he started dating Pratyusha!
Here are some more FB posts from their earlier days that we spotted on Sougata's Profile and which show how Rahul was completely smitten by his wife's beauty and Sougata was madly in love with her 'hubby' too.
The posts, with time will also indicate the turmoil Sougata went through after parting ways with Rahul.
