Rahul is an absolute as*h***: Sara Khan

The phone rang and a voice responded, “Hello”, pain palpable in the tone. So how are you feeling Sara? “Kya bolu (what should I say?) Everything is lost. When I called Pratyusha’s mom yesterday after the news broke out, she told me ‘how did you allow this to happen?’, I was zapped. Pihu (she lovingly calls Pratyusha) and I used to fight and get back, fight and get back, but we were soul sisters. I wish she would have called me once before deciding to leave us all. But I know her well. She cannot commit suicide.” What do you suggest by that statement? “It’s foul play, I feel planned murder. Rahul is an absolute as*h***. He tortured Pihu. Hain kaun woh (who the hell is he?) Kiya kya hain usne life mein (what has he done in life?) He used to live off Pihu’s money. I will tell you something. He is a cheater. He is a divorcee and also had an affair with Saloni (Sharma, TV actress). His statements are contradictory. He left Pihu in the hospital and vanished, so much for love.” Post mortem report suggests suicide. We ask: “It says death due to loss of breath. Koi gala bhi ghot sakta hain (someone can also strangulate). Cops are investigating, so are we. We will get to the truth. I request everyone to support us.” Rahul is in the hospital right now. “(Laughs mockingly) Such a drama queen and a liar. He was having chips while Pihu was dying inside. Biggest fake ever. You know what, he used to message me late night inspite of being with Pihu. Such a cheap person. He is responsible for Pihu’s death and we will fight for her justice.” Once the cloud of anger disappears, emotions flow in: “I cannot believe she is gone. So young and talented, gone forever. We have been together for six years. I was a part of Ram Milaayi Jodi and she Balika Vadhu. Our sets were close by. We spent some quality time together. We sent her off as a bride. Puja (Banerjee, actress) got the dress and we all decked her up. I will miss her forever. Pihu, be happy wherever you are. I am sad she was madly in love with a wrong guy. That’s how love is.” Sara ends on a sombre tone. We understand the pain. We wish her strength. #prayforpratyusha (As told to Siddhartha Laik)
