As a school-goer, Prachi Desai was obsessed with soft toys. The actress, who plays Bani in Kasamh Se had a huge collection of toys in all shapes and sizes.
And now, at 17, Prachi's fetish for soft toys remains unchanged. So much so that her house is full of huggable teddies in every nook and corner.
"When I was in school, I once saw this huge teddy bear in a store. It was 6 ft tall and extremely cute. I looked so tiny next to it. It was so big that I could've used it as my bed," Prachi says. However, when Prachi wanted to buy the toy, her mother refused. "My mom explained that it was too big to take home. And it was expensive. Back then, we couldn't afford to spend that kind of money on a soft toy. I was disheartened for some days but eventually I forgot about it," she says.
However, with her new-found independence, Prachi can buy the things she wants. And finally, she bought herself a similar teddy bear. "I bought an identical looking teddy, but I paid an astronomical amount for it," says Prachi. "I simply had to buy this teddy bear."
In fact, she bought several other soft toys and ended up spending Rs 70,000! "My folks chided me for such extravagance but these toys are simply irresistible," she says.
And guess what? All the toys are in pink—be it the teddies, bunnies, hens (yes, you read that right!), and there's even one of the Tweety bird.
