Prachi Desai has been house-hunting over the last year, but rising property rates are preventing her from acquiring her dream home

Prachi Desai

Is our Television Industry so cash strapped that an actor doing two leading shows cannot afford to buy a two BHK flat in a decent society? Prachi Desai, the reigning heroine of Balaji Telefilms' camp wanted to buy a house in Oberoi Towers in Andheri and she had almost locked the deal for Rs 1.5 crore. Our source says, "By the time she got to sign the papers, the estate rates shot up and the price for same flat swelled to Rs 2.1 crore. Hence, Prachi backed out."

Couldn't Prachi, who has been playing the lead in Kasamh Se and has won a dance reality show, afford to shell out Rs 60 lakh more? Says our source, "One needs to understand that Kasamh Se was Prachi's first TV serial and so she wasn't paid a big amount. No actor gets big bucks in his/her first TV serial. And Rock On is her first film."

When contacted, Prachi simply said, "I am having a great time in the entertainment industry. The day is not far off when I will buy a house of my choice."
