TV actress Puja Banerjee breaks down after cheated off all her life savings by someone she trusted, had to even mortgage her home

TV actors Kunal Verma and Puja Banerjee have been quietly fighting a storm. The popular television couple, known for their roles in shows like Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna and Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev recently opened up about a heartbreaking chapter in their lives—falling victim to a massive financial scam that wiped out all their savings. Their revelation, shared through a candid vlog, has left fans stunned and deeply sympathetic.

Puja Banerjee, visibly emotional, shared that the past few months have been the most difficult period in their life. With growing concern from well-wishers, Puja said they finally felt the time was right to come clean. The scam, they revealed, was not the work of a stranger but someone they had known and trusted deeply—someone who had been part of their inner circle for three years.

Fighting back tears, Puja admitted they’re still in shock and trying to accept that they may never recover the money they lost. She said what made the situation even harder was the emotional toll it’s taken on them, especially on Kunal, who she described as being deeply affected. “It took us a long time to speak about it. We still get overwhelmed,” she shared.

Kunal, too, shared his side of the story, talking about how betrayal from someone they considered family left them emotionally shattered. They had tried to shield the truth from even their own family, but with the situation worsening and recovery efforts hitting roadblocks, they knew it was time to share the truth publicly. "We trusted someone blindly... and we lost everything," he said. The actor claimed that the person who betrayed them was a close acquaintance whom they had known for 3 years and used to frequently visit their house as well.

The financial blow has been so severe that Puja revealed they had mortgaged their home to arrange the funds they eventually lost. With recovery uncertain, the possibility of losing their home now looms large over the family. In a touching moment from her latest vlog, Puja visited the Icchapurti Hanuman temple with her son, seeking strength to face the difficult road ahead. She shared that the same temple had blessed her career's beginnings—and now, in her darkest time, she returned to it in hope and faith.

Her prayer was simple yet heartbreaking: that her child continues to have a roof over his head and that their family finds the strength to overcome this crisis. As her son sweetly recited the Hanuman Chalisa beside her, Puja’s voice trembled with emotion. The actress said that all she is asking for is the courage to brave the storm and be able to rebuild everything she and her husband have lost. Social media extended their full support to the beloved couple. Many followers said that they will also pray for the couple's success, while other asked her to stay strong and put her faith in God.
