Another Version of this Bio...

Born to a middle-class family in Bhuvanagiri (Telangana), Pratyusha was always interested in the glitz and glamor of the film industry. She entered the industry at the tender age of 17 to help financially support her family, after her father’s early demise. She was a rising star in the Tamil and Telugu movie industry.

From these humble beginnings, Prathyusha began her career with films like Rayudu, where she played the famous Mohan Babu’s daughter, Samudram, Kadal Pookal, Snehamante Idera, Kalusukovalani, and Thavasi, among others.

Unfortunately, things were not to remain hunky-dory for very long. On 23rd February, 2002, Prathyusha died. Initially, this was seen as a suicide pact between her and her boyfriend, Siddhartha Reddy, supposedly because their families rejected the idea of their marriage. While Pratyusha died at Care Hospital during treatment, Siddhartha survived. The case immediately caught the attention of the media and the public. Issues arose due to the fact that the case was a medico-legal one, and the hospital authorities did not inform the police after they were admitted. Forensic experts from Gandhi Hospital were asked to make a report on the issue, and they had concluded that the case was one of strangulation. There were also signs of sexual abuse.

Things grew murkier when the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was called in on the case. The CBI reported that the two of them had attempted to commit suicide by mixing pesticide in Coca-Cola and drinking it together. Following this, Reddy changed his mind and took Prathyusha to a hospital, where the two of them had sought treatment. The CBI report steered entirely clear of any of the controversy surrounding the issue. Reddy has now been sentenced to two years of imprisonment and a fine by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh. In 2004, her last and much-delayed film, Sound Party, released, which received a lukewarm response. Following her death, her mother started a charity in her name.
