Prachi Desai: 'Life Partner' changed my views about marriage

After playing the obedient, shy wife in 'Kasamh Se' on television & a smart, confident, loving spouse of Farhan Akhtar in the blockbuster film 'ROCK ON', actress Prachi Desai once again continues her coy Indian bahu image with upcoming Studio 18 release 'Life Partner'.

Playing a demure Gujarati girl, in the film, Prachi gets married to Tusshar in the arranged way.

Though in the film her character very much believes in the concept of arranged marriages, but in real life Prachi holds different views about marriage. Contrary to her on-screen persona Prachi greatly believes in love marriage, ''I know love is blind & mistakes are bound to happen. But despite all the mistakes, I would always prefer for love marriage. Because I wouldn't want to blame my parents for any problems that may arise. I would rather love to be responsible for my own decisions.''

This Abbas-Mustan producetion which deals with the idea of what marriage is all about, Prachi gained lot of insights about marriage while working in the film. Says Prachi, ''After doing 'Life Partner' my views about marriage have changed completely. Now I know the basic issues & problems in a relationship and I feel so confident & mature enough to deal with it. And because of that I am going to be prepared and will always try to keep them away from myself.''

Prachi's wild encounter

Prachi Desai recently had one of the most adventurous experiences in life, while shooting for her forthcoming film Life Partner in South Africa. The entire team of the film was shooting for a song in a reserve forest when two cheetah cubs made an appearance - and the director decided to cast them, too! Prachi and co-star Tusshar Kapoor came across the two cheetah cubs playing around while shooting for the song.

Tusshar liked them as much as Prachi was scared of them. Director Rumi Jaffery spotted the opportunity and decided to make the cubs the part of the sequence.

Said a terrified Prachi, "First I thought it is a joke, but later I was completely petrified and informed Rumi about my apprehension. Everybody tried convincing me that they were just cubs and will cause no harm to me.

" Finally, they convinced her and the cubs managed to make their Bollywood debut.

Life Partner Success Bash hosted by Tushar Kapoor

Knotty!

Genelia D'Souza and Prachi Desai tell us what they don't want from their life partners



An interview with Genelia D'Souza and Prachi Desai turns out to be talk-a-dozen girly banter. Bubbly and upbeat about their forthcoming film Life Partner, the actors take on some fun questions with high-pitched 'Oohs' and 'aahs' and wacky answers. Over to the girls...

The usual question... what do you expect from your life partner?
Genelia: Nothing much really... but Prachi expects a lot.
Prachi: After experiencing all kinds of life partners from Ram Kapoor to Farhan Akhtar to the very sad character of Bhavesh, played by Tusshar Kapoor, I expect a lot from my life partner. I can write a book on marriages now. I will see to it that my guy will not have any problems.
Genelia: (To Prachi) As if you are going to ask the guy, 'Do you have this problem? If it's a yes, you'll say, 'Get out.'
Prachi: (Laughs)

If he has a bad sense of humour...
Genelia: Oh nooo!
Prachi: Once when we were shooting in Cape Town, it was a funny afternoon and we were filming some sad scene. We were in the van most of the day and were called to the sets in the evening. Fardeen came up to us and asked, 'Who was screaming so loudly from the van?'
Genelia: (Laughs) Ya, and it was both of us. We were talking to ourselves... really loudly.
Prachi: Even if we are alone in a room, you can still hear us talk.
Genelia: We are scary. (Laughs)

If he turns out to be a mama's boy?
Prachi: Ooh, I think I will strike him off the list.
Genelia: You can't expect the guy to suddenly disown his mother. But if he takes her permission to even have tea, then there's a problem.
Prachi: It becomes a problem when the mother interferes.

What if he's addicted to saas bahu serials?
Prachi: (joyously) Yaaayy!
Genelia: (Incredulously) You think a man is addicted to such serials? No way!
Prachi: I would like my guy to love movies. Some compatibility there.
Genelia: For me, it's important to have a conversation with the guy. Rest is okay. Of course, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be good looking, rich... (laughs)

What if he is a miser?
Prachi: (Makes a face) I think I would have enough dinners with him to see if he makes me pay.
Genelia: Miser? Not accepted. Can't handle anyone saying 'okay, pay the bill'.
Prachi: Yaaa, and we girls spend three-fourth of our money on bags and shoes.
Genelia: Ya, not allowed.

What if his ears start sprouting hair?
Prachi: Hai! Hai!
Genelia: (Laughs) When we do find our life partners, we will give you in-depth details.

Do you like guys with moustache?
Prachi: No, I don't.
Genelia: I don't mind the grunge look. I don't mind stubble. I think it looks hot on guys. I am not sure if I will be okay with the moustache though.

What if you discover the guy is a kleptomaniac?
Prachi: Hai! Hai!
Genelia: (Protesting with a smile) You are only giving us negative options.

Okay, here's a positive on... What if the guy has a musical snore?
Genelia: (Laughs) As if that is positive. As long as it doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night, it's okay.
Prachi: Yaaa!

Finally, what if he is a messy eater?
Prachi: Eee!
Genelia: I am a messy eater
myself. So I can't be complaining. If I eat a papad, I have crumbs all over me.
Prachi: I have a feeling that the guy I fall in love with may just have all these negative qualities you just asked us. I hope I can change him and not the other way round. (Laughs)
