Sorry… no sari for me!

Prachi Desai refuses to overspend on a new outfit

Money matters: Prachi Desai

On tasting success, some actors believe in indulging themselves. Their newfound fame is reflected in revamped wardrobes, new apartments or many such acquisitions. But there are others who shy away from these. Like Prachi Desai better known as Bani of Kasamh Se, who prefers to live frugally. All of 18 years, Prachi believes in building her future by saving in the present. That would explain why she refused to shop for a new outfit for a recently held award function.

Prachi emphasised to her designer that she wanted to wear something good and classy but not at the cost of straining her budget. "Celebrities can't afford to repeat their clothes as they are constantly under media scrutiny. So, why spend thousands of rupees on something that one isn't going to wear ever again," she reasons.

Apparently, Prachi dropped the idea of wearing a sari for the award ceremonies. "A sari would cost me a fortune, and I did not want to waste money. Besides, I didn't want to wear a sari because I already wear a sari and Indian clothes in my show Kasamh Se. I wanted to look different."

So, Prachi chose to wear a kurta and skirt for the show and stay simple in her attire.

Prachi strongly believes that a good actor will be recognised for his or her talent and not outfit. "It doesn't matter if you're wearing an outfit worth Rs 50000 or 500. It's the work of the artiste that counts, not the amount of money that they spend on their ensemble."

But inspite of her simple outfit, Prachi admires Aamna Shariff and other actresses who looked glamorous in their designer saris. "They all looked great but I'd rather be myself then ape other actors. I'm extremely comfortable wearing casual clothes. Also they can be repeated but I'd never spend a fortune on something that'll lie in my wardrobe after I've worn it once. These are my instructions and suggestions to my designer and all my friends."
