Puja Banerjee is a well-known Indian actress recognized for her work in Bengali films and Hindi television. In June 2025, she made headlines after she and her husband, revealed they had fallen victim to a major financial scam. Someone they trusted for years betrayed them, leading to the loss of all their life savings. Things got so difficult that they had to mortgage their home just to manage daily life.

Puja spoke about the experience in an emotional vlog, sharing how painful it was to be hurt by someone so close. In the middle of this tough time, she turned to her faith for strength, visiting a Hanuman temple to find peace and clarity.

Despite everything, Puja and Kunal are staying strong. They’re taking legal steps to try and recover their money and are focused on starting over. What’s helping them through is their belief in themselves, their faith, and the love and support they’ve received from fans and well-wishers.

Puja’s honesty and strength during this hard phase have only made people respect her more. She continues to inspire others by facing challenges with grace, courage, and a quiet determination to move forward.
