Meenakshi: i always collect information regarding u and when u used to do Kasamh Se,my friends used to call me Bani Dewani.
Prachi Desai: Thank you Meenakshi...feels good to hear that but that's not all you have to tell me but also how many times you have seen Rock On.s

Meenakshi: happy belated birthday.
Prachi Desai: Thank you meenakshi....Have cake from my side.
Banibanijai: Prachi well your character Saakshi was too sweet and practical. Can u tell us if u r related to Saakshi in a real life too?
Prachi Desai: Sweet and practical and me...No way ...Ha Ha Ha...Just kidding...Saakshi and me do share some similarities ....I am a little practical when it comes to my career though not always, maybe because, I am still too young to be practical enough...Maybe Saakshi's calm nature and maturity is something that reflects in my personality. Sometimes when I am not with my friends
Raawas: how was ur working exp with Arjun Rampal?
Prachi Desai: raawas...all girls are envy of me that I have been sharing screen space with Farhan and Arjun...though I wasn't paired opposite Arjun...it was great working with him....everybody calls him a prankster and I guess he is one....I think I am fortunate I got a chance to work with them in my first film...He is a very good person.
adi : hello..how did this film happen to you?
Prachi Desai: Adi....I was doing Kasamh Se and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa when I got a call from Excel Entertainment...they wanted to meet me....i did so, and they told me they would want to audition me ...i did an audition and a look test and Got Lucky.
Joe: hello...how was Abhishek as a director?
Prachi Desai: Hi Joe....Abhishek is a treat to work with for a debutant like me. On the sets he was very calm, you could never hear a loud voice from him.That made someone like me comfortable and at ease....He knows exactly what each one's comfort levels are...He is very clear in his vision...and knows exactly how to extract the right performances from his actors....He just asked me to be myself ....He gave us total liberty to do what we had pursued from the character.

Banibanijai: Prachi, which is your dream character that you want to portray in the years to come?
Prachi Desai: I think characters, films, and moments cannot be recreated so maybe I cannot mention one thing that I would want to do ...But yes I loved Devdas and found the characters of Chandramukhi and Paro extremely beautiful...but I believe such characters cannot be recreated...Nevertheless it would be amazing to play something like that.
Rupak: what u do in your leisure time?
Prachi Desai: Rupak....I don't have much leisure time....I may be the laziest person you ever could come across....I think I have lately become like this because I worked really hard in Kasamh Se as it was a daily job...Now whenever I get time...I like being at home, or go out with friends or rest ...The best way to spend time recently is calling up my friends and taking them along to watch Rock On....I myself have seen the film more than 10 times
balz_uni: what other languages do you speak?
Prachi Desai: I know Gujarati because its my mother tongue. Then Hindi for sure its my job , English because i did my education in English and Marathi because I studied in Maharashtra, and it was one of the second languages....In college I opted the German as a foreign language but didn't really continue it for more than a year as I had to come to Mumbai for my acting.
Jay: Jay: do u Have a siblings?
Prachi Desai: Yes, I have an older sister, we have a difference of year and a half...She is continuing her studies in the same college that I was studying in and studies Pharmacy ...Her name is Esha.
Rock: would you love to be a part of the Bhatt camp sometime in the future?
Prachi Desai: I would love to be a part of the Bhatt camp ....I have seen almost all their films and I love them....I would love to be the face of beautiful music they compose...Its unfortunate that this time I wont be doing their film. As I am shooting for Life Partner so the dates were clashing....But I am sure Jashn is going to be an amazing film...I wish Adhyayan good luck for Raaz and Jashn ....I am sure he and the music of the film will

Fatoubaani: did you miss working with Ram sir ..;;Prachi di?
Prachi Desai: Of course, I miss Walia House and Ram a lot...I think every day at least once there comes a mention of Ram's name because it had become such a routine working with him.
