Actress Pratyusha Bannerjee's unexpected demise has shocked everyone. It has also brought to fore many issues that aspiring actors and models face in the 'City of Dreams', Mumbai. Our today's feature focuses on how increasingly difficult the struggle of actors searching for homes in Mumbai has become.

I feel it will definitely create problems for bachelor's to get flats on rent. Especially the actors and the models. It had been a problem anyway, but I feel that now it's gonna be even worse.

Roop Durgapal

I feel it varies from society to society. Though yes, now flat owners will be more cautious as nobody wants to get embroiled in police-related cases. But earlier too, I have heard of actors & models facing issues in getting rented accommodation owing to their bachelor status.

Laksh Lalwani

Yes! I think it will be a slight of a task. It was not easy for me as well to avail a flat in 2015. Now, I think it will be even more difficult.

Housing problem for bachelors has always been an issue, especially for actors. But with the recent cases, it would get even more challenging. It will surely be difficult for a bachelor to find a rented place.

Mohammad Nazim

Bachelors are always considered to be a different kind of species. If you are an actor, it is assumed that there will be a lot of house parties and late nights. All actors don't have such a typical lifestyle. I feel societies should take a decision on a subjective basis. Such cases also happen with the non-actors, but it is assumed it only happens with actors.

TV actors cases get widely reported, hence, the perception changes although relationships problems happen in the corporate sector as well as normal folks life. It should be subjective and case to case basis. But ironically, bachelors will face problem for sure.

Mahika Sharma

It has always been a problem for bachelors to get a flat in family grounded societies. But such cases will create more issues when it's about people from the entertainment industry.

Amal Sehrawat

Definitely, it will create more problems for bachelors as the whole world is having a negative perception about actors and nobody wants to be a part of any trouble.

Krishna Gokani

Absolutely! It's going to get very challenging for bachelors and spinsters, or for that matter anyone looking to rent a place; especially after the devastating incident. Life isn't easy for anyone anywhere. A good home is very important.

Manish Goplani

There is a problem already. No one is giving apartments to bachelors and actors. Even I was struggling for 10- 15 days for my new apartment. But after the recent happening, it will create more issues
