But did you know that Prajakta almost did not audition for the role? Recalling her audition, Prajakta said, “My audition is such a story because I was supposed to be on a flight to Tokyo the same time that my audition for the series was going to be. And then Tokyo was hit by a typhoon and my flight got delayed by four hours. So I then went for the audition directly from the airport, without having done my hair or makeup, still, in the clothes I travelled in, which was a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I was wearing my glasses and I literally just dashed into the audition room, gave the audition, dashed back because I had to go to the airport to catch my flight, with zero expectations.”

Netflix’s series, Mismatched, released on November 20, 2020. Meanwhile, Prajakta Koli will make her Bollywood debut with Dharma Productions Jug Jugg Jeeyo that stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor.
