New Delhi: Tv actor Shashank Vyas, who is currently seen in Star Plus’ ‘Jaana Na Dil Se Door’ as Ravish Vashisht got very emotional today.
We all know that today is Pratyusha Banerjee’s first death anniversary. Shashank met Pratyusha during ‘Balika Vadhu’ show. While remembering the time spent with Pratyusha on the sets, Shashank told an entertainment portal, “A thing which is done for the first time in life always holds a special place in one's heart. Be it your first car, your first show or...your first heroine. Pratyusha was a very dear friend of mine. It may sound cliched but I still can't believe that Pratyusha is not with us."
He further added “When we both started with 'Balika Vadhu' we wanted to prove our talent to the industry. Our focus was only work. I have seen her growth. She used to share her personal problems with me. Off the camera we used to have a lot of discussion about life and our work,"
Shashank played the role of ‘Jagdish aka Jagiya’ in Balika Vadhu. In the end, actor said “All actors on television are artists. They are not legends or stars. When you are not doing a show you are no one. To become an artist one should have purity in his/her heart. I enjoy my success and fame but I have never taken it seriously.A reality check is very important for an actor. I wish Pratyusha was alive. People should learn a lesson from her life and find a balance in whatever they do."
This is so apt and true!
May Pratyusha’s soul rest in peace.
