The Mumbai High Court has given late television actress Pratyusha Bannerjee’s boyfriend Rahul Raj a reason to rejoice in a verdict that exonerates him of charges of cheating and fraudulence slapped on by aspiring actress Heer Patel. Patel claimed that Rahul had walked away with lakhs of rupees promising to launch her as an actress through his production house.
But now after the High Court’s verdict in his favour Rahul plans to take action not just against Heer Patel but all those who he claims conspired against him after Pratyusha’s death. Rahul is all set to write a tell-all book. Says Rahul, “All of them including Kamya Punjabi and Vikas Gupta, who is a Bigg Boss contestant, met regularly at Heer’s house after I refused to give in to her advances. She even took Pratyusha’s parents to her home when they came to Mumbai after their daughter’s death so that they could join in the campaign to prove me guilty. But now, the honourable High Court has relieved me from the matter, which was pending since the last one year.”
For those who are wondering, who is Heer Patel? Rahul says, “She is an aspiring actress, who wanted me to launch her. She was infatuated with me. When I refused to give in to her designs she turned vengeful.” Rahul further alleges, “She is a divorcee with a child was trying to marry me under many false pretexts. When I discovered her lies, she turned against me. Pratyusha’s parents filed the case after they were instigated by her as they were staying at her house.” Rahul also names another aspiring actress Varsha Bhagwani, who he claims is siding Heer.
Rahul also intends to take legal action against Bigg Boss-contestant Vikas, who he claims has a sexual harassment charge against him. “How can he be on the show when he has a molestation charge against him? He settled the matter out of court with the defendant. What is his claim to fame except the press conference after Pratyusha’s death where he asked many questions? Now it is my turn to ask questions.”
