The actor said Pratyusha and Rahul had their ups and downs, but looked very much in love.
"She was very vibrant. Rahul and Pratyusha were young and new in their relationship, so they had their little moments, ups and downs, as you could see on the show. They looked very much in love," Arbaaz told reporters.
"She was a very lovely girl and they were doing well on the show. In fact, in the first week they were on top. It's (Pratyusha's death) a very tragic moment," he death.
