‘BOLLYWOOD GIVES EVERYONE THEIR CREDIT AT SOME POINT’

Prachi Desai says that she takes every project as a ‘beginning’

Actor Prachi Desai, who has completed a decade in the Hindi film industry, says Bollywood does give ‘their due and credit’ to everyone.

Asked if she ever feels that her talent has not been explored as much, Prachi says, “I don’t know about how long [has] it been but I always look at (consider) every project to be the beginning. This industry does give everyone their due and credit at some point and I am grateful for what I have got, though I would say it’s just the beginning.”

Prachi made her Bollywood debut in 2008 with Rock On!! and since then, she has featured in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), Bol Bachchan (2012), Azhar (2016) and Rock On 2 (2016), among others. Before her stint in filmdom, Prachi was seen on small screen in Kasamh Se.

Does Prachi credit her stint on TV for her recognition and popularity today? “TV has an extensive reach which takes you through the remotest place, so I won’t deny that it did play a pivotal role in stemming up my popularity. But, as an actor, acting is all that appeals to me — whether that be on the small or big screen — as far as my I am doing justice to my role and my audience.”

In a decade-long-journey, Prachi has never played a title role in any film so far. About it, she says, “I feel films are made by characters and no matter what each one of them plays, it helps you to build a movie. Big or small, if you can do justice to the role, then people will always take your character back from the film,” Prachi says.
