Prachi denied a Dubai visa

Insiders say that if Prachi’s visa does not come through, the outdoor shoot will have to be stalled.

Prachi denied a Dubai visa

After changing the venue from Bangkok to Dubai for the outdoor shoot, the team of ‘Kasamh Se’ (Zee) have a new set of problems on hand. First, Bani, (Prachi Desai) the protagonist of the show, did not have a passport to travel for the shoot. “I have never travelled abroad and this will be my first trip. In fact, none of my family members have travelled abroad before,” reveals Prachi.

Sources close to the channel reveal that since Prachi did not have a passport, there had to be a last minute scramble to get everything organised. Reveals Nivedita Basu, deputy creative head, Balaji, “Initially, we all panicked when we realised that she does not have a passport. But now the problem has been sorted out.”

But, that’s not all. There seems to be another hurdle in obtaining Prachi’s visa. Since Prachi is only 17-years-old, the Dubai authorities have refused her a visa. Insiders say that if Prachi’s visa does not come through, the outdoor shoot will have to be stalled because she is the focal character in the track. “I know there is a problem with my visa. Since no one in my family has a passport, I cannot take any one from among them as my guardian. But I am turning 18 on the 12th of this month and I think everything will get sorted out. I am looking forward to this trip and am excited about the long shopping list with me,” laughs Prachi. The production house is also a bit sceptical. They have to get the visa issue sorted out because the team is scheduled to leave on the 16th. The team will be in Dubai for a week for a dramatic development in the track and only the main characters will be travelling.
