Panchi: From soap queen to soap commercials

Panchi Bora, popularly known as Prachi of Kayamath, has been out of work since the show wrapped up. She hasn't taken up any acting projects and Balaji hasn't offered her any roles either. But Panchi still tries to keep busy; she has recently done work for another daily soap – not a serial but an advertisement for Godrej No. 1.

SHE says, "I want to do some good work but nothing of the sort has come my way yet. Balaji too hasn't offered me anything though I am sure they will let me know if they have something."
The actress is managing to keep the money coming in by starring in an advertisement. Panchi says, "It's an ad for Godrej No. 1, which is a daily soap. In the advert, a girl with glowing skin is shown winning the Miss India contest." Coincidently, Panchi was once crowned 'Miss Personality' in her college in Pune.

Commercials, says the actress, are very close to her heart. "I started my career with commercials and shot for a Cadbury ad in 2004. That was my first. So when I was offered this commercial, I didn't give it a second thought and decided to go for it."

Another reason for agreeing to the soap ad is because she feels that skin is a very important constituent that should always be taken special care off. "When you see yourself in the mirror, it is good skin that boosts your confidence and adds to your personality. One should always take care of their skin," she says.

The actress hates make up and believes in her 'mummy ki nuskhe' saying, "I don't like make up. I follow my mother's tips. I take care of my skin by drinking lots of water and eating healthy food. I apply lemon and honey on it everyday and eat tomato and cucumber, which are very good for the skin."

And Panchi has even more beauty tips. She adds, "Multani mitti and chandan are very good for the skin. Then, ground masoor ki dal is also excellent and neem is very good if you have pimples."

Other than the commercial, Panchi is enjoying all the free time that unemployment has provided her with. She says, "There was a Mahamrityunjay Yagya happening at my place which just got over. Presently, my cousins have all come over and we are having a great time together. We watch movies and as I am very fond of reading, I do that too."
