Bani’s day out

Bani's day out

Reena Thapar Kapoor

Prachi Desai aka Bani is basking in the success of her daily show, Kasamh Se. Her popularity is evident from the fact that now this 18-year girl is inundated with invitations for inaugurating stores and boutiques. Last week Prachi was in Lucknow to inaugurate a high-profile jewellery store. After two days of stay in the city, Prachi is back in Mumbai now. Her mother recalls, "Being an introvert, Prachi takes time to open up with people. So she was quiet for some time, but the love and affection Prachi received from the residents of Lucknow changed her into a completely new person. They were fabulous people. Prachi was so happy interacting with those people. She has started talking more these days," she adds.

On the flight to Lucknow, Prachi was amused at the attention she received. The airhostesses hovered around her and discussed about her work. "I had a good time with them. They were so curious about my character in the show. I enjoyed their attention," says Prachi. A few minutes before the take-off, Prachi was informed that her economy class seat was upgraded to business class. "That was a pleasant surprise," she smiles. "What's more, the pilot invited Prachi to his cabin and showed her how to fly the aeroplane. "The view from the pilot's cabin was awesome," says Prachi.
