Kamya Panjabi and Pratyusha Banerjee were seen together in Bigg Boss 7 in 2013. They developed a very good friendship in the house that stayed on outside as well. Pratyusha passed away in 2016 and her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was later accused by her parents of abetment to suicide.
Kamya had made headlines earlier when she stood up for her Pratyusha when Vikas Gupta claimed he had dated the late actress, Kamya had said in an interview with a leading daily, “Let’s respect those who are not with us and not talk about anyone’s personal life. Pratyusha isn’t there to tell the world whether it’s true or incorrect. She isn’t there to verify these claims. Why is Vikas talking about his past with her now? Fame chahiye ki kya chahiye. I don’t appreciate it at all. I didn’t read or watch the interview. I don’t want to know ki Pratyusha ke baare mein sach likha hai, jhooth likha hai ya tareef likhi hai.”
