Prachi Desai starred acting in the most famous television serial of all time, ‘kasam se’ at an age of 16 years.
She was a good student till she reached her teens. It is in her teens that she decided that she could not go any deeper into studies and she wanted to pursue a career in modelling and acting.
While shooting for ‘kasam se’, she got a call one day from the director of ‘rock on’ movie to meet him in his studio. She never imagined that she was being called in for auditioning for a role opposite Farhan Akthar and that she was going to make her debut into Bollywood with that call.
She made her way into the entertainment industries through Balaji Telefilms, whcih is owned by Ektha Kapoor and she is very close to Ektha and her entire family.
It was Prachi , whom Ektha Kapoor made to to work harder, since she used to believe that Prachi could hit it big if she aspires to.
Due to her prior commitment to ‘kasam se’ serial, Prachi could not deny to be shot in the show. At the same time, she could not lose her big chance, that came in the form of ‘rock on’, so she used to work for both the shootings at a time.
Prachi is often compared to Sonam Kapoor in terms of looks.
Prachi played a mother role in ‘kasam se’, when she was merely a girl of 17 years old.
