‘I want a man who will look after me’

[1]

At 24, Prachi Desai has already done some serious roles in films like Rock On and Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. But her character in the John Abraham-starrer I Me Aur Main is the closest to her heart.
“Yes! I identify with the character. I have earlier played mature characters that portrayed me as an older woman, but this one is different. I play a vivacious and vibrant hairstylist,” she says. Prachi admits that she has had it easy. “I am lucky as I started getting good roles since my entry in television. I am thankful to the television industry for my initial popularity, which became a stepping-stone for the big screen. But I believe that talent and luck go hand in hand,” she adds.
Coming back to her character in I Me Aur Main she says, “I don different looks in this film. As research, I observed college girls and hair stylists and experimented with anklets, shabby-looking hair with purple streaks, etc.” The actor who loves watching English shows on television to relax is also looking forward to working in 1920, part 3. “I play a princess in the film. It is a fabulous character.”
Having been single-handedly brought up by her mother, Prachi has a lot to thank her mom for. “I got maximum support from my mother. Although she wanted me to study, she did not stop me when I told her that I wanted to pursue acting as a career.”
About getting hitched, the star smiles and says that she is still single. “But yes! I want a man who will look after me, who will know how to control me and take all the right decisions.”
