In the wake of the untimely death of Pratyusha Banerjee, members of the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) have decided to hold counselling sessions with actors.

"Starting from April 17, we will have seven counselling sessions with all the actors. We really want to know the root cause of suicide and eradicate it," Amit Behl, chairperson dispute committee, CINTAA, told IANS.

"Of course, it doesn't guarantee anything, but we all will sit as family members and discuss our own highs and lows," he added.

Pratyusha, who portrayed the character of the adult Anandi in the famous teleserial "Balika Vadhu", was found hanging from a fan by her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh and neighbours at her Goregaon residence on April 1.

She was rushed to the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital where she was declared dead.

"Pratyusha was such a young girl and my concern is that as an actor, they need to understand highs and lows are part of this industry. So we have collectively taken this decision and have come forward to speak about it," Behl said.

Pratyusha Banerjee was successful as an actress and artist. She had no such problems at all. Her problems began on the day when RRS decided that Pratyusha will be his prey.

Pratyusha was a brilliant performer, even a second of her appearance on screen made value to the show. Dear CINTAA you got to council the family members and bf/gf of the artists that the actors are humans not money spinning machines. If they took break from their work it means they might be waiting for something prospective to come. Pratyusha was crushed not only by Rahul mentally and physically, but her so called well wishers who distanced themselves when she was in need of them.
