Gorgeous Prachi Desai certainly succeeded in changing her image from being a typical Indian bahu in Kasam Se to a glamorous gal in Rock On. Let's have a peak into her
real self and try to understand this babe better.
Q. We gather you are not from Mumbai. Would you tell us something about your background?
A. I come from a close-knit Surat family in Gujarat, which includes my folks and elder sister. I completed my schooling from there and later on, came to Pune for higher
studies.
Q. Then how did you land up in Mumbai?
A. Well, I was studying in Pune and had almost finished my junior college. It so happened that one day I came to know about this audition Balaji was having for Kasamh Se.
I casually walked in and auditioned. What followed was a call from the production house and I was here!
Q. You were playing the eldest of the three sisters, when actually you were the youngest of them all!
A. Yes, it was funny, but you know how television works. The three of us really jelled well; we had loads of fun on the sets. We are like sisters only.
Q. What about real sister?
A. Yes, I have an elder sister, but because she is only a year older to me, there is no didi type relationship. In fact, we are more like pals. We discuss everything, including
boy talk.
Q. How different are you from your character Baani in real life?
A. Baani is a very serious and responsible girl for whom her sisters are everything. I, on the other hand, am a very carefree, mastikhor kind of a girl. I am simply a
happy-go-lucky girl.
Q. When you first entered the field of glamour, were you not scared given the fact that there are talks about a lot of mischief around here?
A. Yes, I too had heard some of the stories you are referring to. But I still went ahead. I believe that if you are on the right path, nothing wrong will happen to you.
Q. Would you be ready to expose, then?
A. No, never. I have not been raised that way and would never ever wear that kind of stuff.
Q. And what about the love quotient! Your perfect man?
A. Kahaan yaar, I am so busy. Where is the time for romance. - Pratik Maheshwari
