<p>Vivacious yet demure, Prachi Desai has made her mark in Bollywood with films such as ‘Rock On’ and ‘Once upon a time in Mumbaai’. <br /><br /></p>.<p>She was in the City recently for a corporate event and she had only good things to say about Bangalore. <br /><br />“I have heard wonderful things about the City. It has such a great mix of professionals and students. It is a very popular City and I have come here several times but never had the time or the opportunity to roam around. I feel that people here are very encouraging and full of life. I regret the fact that I have never taken time out to see Bangalore. <br />I will probably be able to do it the next time,” she says. <br /><br />Professionally, the chirpy actress is content with her on-screen image of ‘the girl next door’, but is also ready to experiment.<br /><br />“The image that I have been tagged with has not been created by me. It has stuck to me due to the kind of roles I have done. I feel that everyone has a USP and if this is working for me, there is no harm in continuing with it. If people like me and want to see me in this avatar, I have no qualms about it. I am happy that so many people like me and watch my movies,” she adds. <br /><br />Her transition from the small screen to the big screen has done wonders for her. <br /><br />“I am glad that I am doing movies, it is a welcome change in my life and I would want all my fans to watch my movies. I am open to experimenting and would want to do different kinds of roles,” she quips.<br /><br />When asked about trying her hand in item numbers, she candidly replies that it has given immense popularity to many actors. <br /><br />“Actors are doing well after performing in item songs for others’ movies and in their own movies. However, for me, the film is utmost and then comes the set, script <br />and the choreographer,” she adds.<br /><br />The pretty actress reveals that she loves her character, Gauri, in her latest film I, Me Aur Main and had a lot of fun while shooting for the film. <br /><br />“I am also pretty excited about my two other projects, Policegiri and Vikram Bhatt’s ‘1920 London’. Being a part of a horror movie was a different experience. As an actor, I feel that we have very limited options and it is because of that we portray the same kind of roles and replicate the same kind of image time and again. I am all for taking risks and always on the lookout for a good role,” she notes. <br /><br />It might be difficult for celebrities to spare time to pursue their hobby, but Prachi makes sure that she makes time to follow her passion. “ I like to make small artefacts with glass and mirrors. I enjoy doing craft work. I also love dancing and I get to do a lot of that in the movies,” she concludes.<br /></p>
