Though Prachi Desai says that she wants to try out various roles in different genres of filmmaking, the dark characters make her cringe.
The actor says that she is only interested in goody-goody characters as she is able to relate to them.
“I’m young and I want to experiment with different genres of films from comedies to action to romance. I want to play different roles that challenge me as an actor. But at the I want to play good characters essentially. I think they’ll suit me better and I will also be relating to it since I think I’m an ethically right person,” Prachi says.
Prachi still admits that she owes all her success to her character Bani in Kasamh Se. She became a household name while doing the soap. She was barely out of high school at that time.
“It (the soap) was a great stepping stone for me as it gave me exposure and I also got the opportunity to learn and fine tune my acting skills. I owe my career to Bani,” she says.
However, Prachi says she was bored doing the same role for over two years. Kasamh Se started in January 2006 and Prachi left the soap on April 2008.
“I was really bored after doing the same thing for so long. I was really tired and wanted to change. And then a few opportunities for Bollywood films came along. I decided that I had to leave the show. I have no regrets that I did it. I’m very happy doing films now in which I can live so many characters,” she says.
Prachi says she walking out of Balaji’s soap did not create any enmity between her and soap queen Ekta Kapoor.
“I’m their child and they are very excited that someone from their house is trying to make a mark in the film industry. They are backing me and are also going to promote my debut film Rock On in a big way,” she ends.
