Telly star Pratyusha Banerjee has been dragged into a twitter controversy after her alleged tweets asking the producers of the TV soap ‘Balika Vadhu’ to take her back got undue attention.

 
Twitteratti were abuzz with reports of how the actress is leaving no stone unturned to get back on the show, and how the producers were not taking heed to her pleas.
 
When Emirates 24|7 caught up with the star to find out if there was any truth to these allegations, she denied it all.
 
In fact, she claimed that the tweets were generated from an account that didn’t belong to her.
 
“It’s a fake account,” clarified the 21-year-old telly star, who was shocked to hear about how her name was being misused on the social networking site.
 
“I did not know about this account and this is the first time I am hearing about it.”
 
She, however, divulged that she had received calls about whether she was planning to return to ‘Balika Vadhu’.
 
She denied ever approaching the telly show producers.
 
“I have already signed a contract with another show and I am not at planning to go back to ‘Balika Vadhu’.
 
“Everything is over and sorted out. I have moved on.”
 
Pratyusha had played the female protagonist ‘Anandi’ in ‘Balika Vadhu’ for over three years before deciding to quit.
 
“My mum has been unwell and had to undergo an eye operation. I love her a lot and wanted to be with her but due to hectic schedules I could not do so,” she had then told Emirates 24|7.
 
Her fans, however, could not accept the news and this site received an outpour of messages requesting the producers to bring her back.
 
Slowly, rumours started doing the rounds that she will soon return to ‘Balika Vadhu’.
 
The tweets even suggested that she had approached the producers on twitter, not once but twice, only to keep her fans happy.
