Vikas Gupta says he dated Pratyusha Banerjee, she found out about his bisexuality after breakup

Television producer and former Bigg Boss contestant Vikas Gupta has spoken about all the controversies around his name, including how he used to date late TV actor Pratyusha Banerjee.

Vikas Gupta has revealed that he dated late actor Pratyusha Banerjee for a while. He said that she found out about his bisexuality after they had broken up.

Vikas Gupta said he dated Pratyusha Banerjee for a while.

Speaking to a leading daily, Vikas Gupta said only two women that he has ever dated, have known about his sexual orientation. While one was Pratyusha, he refused to name the second person.

"Pratyusha got to know about it after we broke up. We were together for a short span. The break-up reason would be that some people spoke bad about me to her. But I don't want to get into the details as she is no more. I was very angry with her after the break-up. I avoided her when I saw her on the road once. She called me to ask that how could I do that. I liked Pratyusha. I wanted to do a big project with her. Alas," he said.

Pratyusha Banerjee died in 2016 of an apparent suicide. Her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was accused of abetment to suicide. Talking about him, Vikas said, "The visual I remember of Rahul Raj Singh is he was eating chips outside the hospital (when Pratyusha had died by suicide). I entered to see that Makrand Malhotra was around and he was calling up people. Pratyusha had dated Makrand (before Rahul) and that was the sweetest relationship of her life."

"You were a star that left our universe too soon. This world is cruel and every year i learn more. I am sorry i wasn't there when you needed. Yes you never asked for help but this world is a little like that even when help is asked no one comes forward. We see signs but we avoid them. I really hope you are in a better place," he added.
