| Outsiders are not taken seriously in Bollywood: Prachi Desai |
| Press Trust of India / Mumbai June 24, 2012, 13:36 |
Ruing that outsiders are never taken seriously in Bollywood, actress Prachi Desai says it is only now that the industry is opening up to her despite she being working for last five years since her debut film "Rock On". "I think the industry is opening up to me. And it is high time it does. I am truly not the person I have been made up to be. I feel that industry can be unfair sometimes. When you are an outsider, people don't take you seriously," Prachi told PTI. "I personally think that you need an extreme push for people to promote you and bring you to a certain level," Prachi said Prior to 'Rock On' in 2008, Prachi, 23, had a successful stint on television with her debut soap 'Kasamh Se'. Later, a dance reality show catapulted her to stardom which landed her a few offers in Bollywood. "For the kind of roles I was offered, I was not interested in them. When anybody starts of, you don't want to be doing roles twice your age," the actress said. "The reason for being offered roles much older than me was because these are the kind of characters I have done before in television as well. I got it from 'Rock On'...I played a young wife but nobody saw me as funky or the real me. The way I am," she added. (MORE) |
" 'I, Me Aur Main' is a perfect opportunity for me to change people's perceptions about me," saysPrachi Desai who will be seen playing her age in the film. She adds that usually she has been offered roles older than her age.
" It is such a vivacious role. I don't think people have normally seen me like that. The film is a perfect opportunity for me to change people's perceptions about me," she said.
Directed by debutant Kapil Sharma, John will be seen romancing five girls in "I, Me Aur Main". Prachi is one of them.
She said: " 'I, Me Aur Main' is a modern film. I play a girl who is very young. She just comes into John's life and changes everything around him."
The young actress started her career as the lead in TV show "Kasamh Se", feels that the industry had a set perception about her and that nobody wanted to try her for new roles. According to her, she was always offered roles older to her.
"The reason for being offered roles much older than me was because that is the kind of role I had done on television. So, I guess, people wanted to stick to that. Nobody wanted to experiment with me. They just wanted to capitalise with what they had seen me as," said the actress.
The 25-year-old made her big screen debut with "Rock On!" and later featured in "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai", "Life Partner" and recently released "Teri Meri Kahaani".
Her next is Rohit Shetty's "Bol Bachchan". Releasing July 6, the film, which has Ajay Devgn andAbhishek Bachchan in the lead roles, is her first comedy and she is excited about it.
Prachi Desai talks about Bollywood break
Though she has been a part of the Indian film industry for almost five years, Prachi Desai is only just emerging into the limelight. After her ZEE TV soap 'Kasamh Se' (2006), she debuted in the film 'Rock On' (2008) which did very well at the box office. However, it did not give her the credit she had hoped for.
"For the kind of roles I was offered, I was not interested in them..because these are the kind of characters I have done before in television as well..People wanted to stick to that, nobody wanted to experiment with me,"NDTV reports the actress saying.
Appearing in four other films following 'Rock On', Desai now feels that she is finally being noticed, "I think this is a good year for me. But now after doing films like 'Bol Bachchan' (2012) and 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai' (2010), I think I have come into that commercial zone. This is when you get other opportunities. It's not been that long but it could have been a faster process"
Desai will next be seen in her upcoming release 'Bol Bachchan' (2012) playing Ajay Devgn's sister and Abhishek Bachchan's love interest. She is also preparing for her next venture 'I Me Aur Mein' sharing the screen with John Abraham which is due for release in July.
