Prachi's 'real' look

Prachi Desai, a teenager now playing a mother in Kasamh Se after a generation leap, has a surprise for viewers. The actress will now make a special appearance in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Fortunately for her, she plays a schoolgirl and the character is also called Prachi Desai.

An excited Prachi says, "I am very busy with Kasamh Se, so when I was approached for the role, I was in two minds. But when I heard that I will be playing a schoolgirl, I was really excited about the role as I will be playing myself."

Prachi says, "My role is that of a student in Prerna's school. Prachi will run away with her boyfriend. This shocks the bitter Prerna, who is in charge of the school."

The actress still hates the idea of playing a mother. "Kasamh Se is doing great and this show has given me
