Prachi
Desai
is
expectedly
cheerful.
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai
has
clicked
with
the
audience
as
well
as
critics
while
Prachi's
act
too
has
been
appreciated
despite
this
Milan
Luthria
film
being
a
gangster
flick
with
men
(Ajay
Devgn,
Emraan
Hashmi,
Randeep
Hooda)
leading
from
the
front.
Her
good
run
is
continuing
as
now,
after
Rock
On
and
Life
Partner,
she
has
her
third
film
in
a
row
all
set
to
be
a
winner
at
the
box
office.
While
it
is
a
'khushi'
situation
for
her
currently,
it
was
some
'gham'
for
her
not
too
many
moons
ago.
As
she
had
mentioned
in
the
first
part
of
this
conversation
with
this
correspondent,
though
getting
into
a
'Bobby
outfit'
wasn't
a
surprise
for
her,
there
was
'not
quite
a
decent
proposal'
made
to
her
in
one
of
her
earlier
outings.
She
was
required
to
get
into
a
particular
outfit
which
wasn't
comfortable
enough
for
her
liking.
In
the
second
and
concluding
part
of
the
conversation,
Prachi
talks
about
what
had
gone
wrong
and
how
she
handled
the
situation.
In
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
did
you
know
about
the
Bobby
sequence
where
you
had
to
get
into
Dimple
Kapadia's
outfit?
I
knew
about
the
Bobby
sequence
but
I
didn't
have
to
ask
anyone
about
the
explicit
details.
I
didn't
have
to
worry
about
the
length
of
the
dress
or
how
I
would
look
on
screen
because
I
knew
that
Milan
(Luthria)
would
bring
the
best
out
of
me.
I
knew
that
he
won't
misuse
the
sequence
for
the
sake
of
it.
Otherwise
I
would
have
been
caught
in
an
earlier
situation
that
I
had
faced
for
one
of
my
films
where
all
of
a
sudden,
I
was
told
right
on
the
sets
that
the
next
day
I
had
to
wear
a
particular
outfit.
Which
was
this
film?
(Hesitates)
Let
it
go.
Ok,
what
was
the
incident?
I
had
never
worn
an
outfit
like
that
ever
in
my
life
and
here
the
makers
told
me
to
come
prepared
for
the
shoot
the
next
day.
I
was
not
just
shocked
but
also
felt
so
scared.
I
was
just
wondering
that
how
would
I
look,
how
would
people
feel
and
so
on.
Today
when
I
look
back,
I
think
it
was
just
right
on
my
part
not
to
consent
to
their
demands.
I
am
glad
that
I
kept
my
foot
down.
Even
though
I
was
in
an
early
stage
of
my
career,
there
is
a
certain
sense
of
realisation
that
I
had
as
an
actor.
I
knew
where
the
line
was,
what
was
necessary
and
what
was
not.
If
I
would
have
worn
that
outfit,
I
would
have
looked
foolish
on
screen.
Well,
you
don't
look
foolish
in
the
Bobby
sequence...
It
happens
with
actors
that
if
they
are
doubtful
about
wearing
something,
it
reflects
in
their
performance
and
audience
also
catch
it
there
and
then.
This
is
the
reason
why
for
the
Bobby
sequence
in
OUATIM,
the
discomfort
looks
so
real
because
that's
the
kind
of
person
I
am
in
real
life.
I
didn't
have
to
work
towards
getting
the
right
emotions
and
only
had
to
concentrate
on
acting
natural.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
scene
looks
so
real.
...and
cute
too?
(Smiles)
I
am
glad
that
you
said
this.
See,
we
had
this
idea
with
us
and
pondered
over
how
we
got
it
running
in
the
film
because
on
one
hand
I
was
playing
such
a
conservative
girl
while
on
the
other
hand,
Shoaib's
character
(enacted
by
Emraan)
was
so
erratic.
He
is
a
street
hooligan
so
you
can
well
imagine
the
kind
of
relationship
between
them
where
I
am
so
shy
while
he
is
a
brat.
Also,
the
era
gone
by
was
conservative
as
well.
Exactly,
you
could
not
be
so
open
in
the
70s.
Let
aside
wearing
revealing
costumes
in
real
life,
you
couldn't
even
be
seen
with
a
guy.
This
is
why
a
lot
of
innocence
had
to
be
woven
around
the
sequence
by
making
it
sweet
and
harmless
rather
than
erotic.
It
all
fitted
in
because
Bobby
was
a
huge
rage
then
and
hence
the
whole
sequence
of
Emraan
buying
a
similar
outfit
and
expecting
me
to
wear
it
just
for
his
eyes
made
so
much
of
sense.
I
too
was
comfortable
since
there
is
a
lot
of
trust
I
have
in
Milan.
After
working
in
three
films,
I
know
that
you
need
to
have
an
extremely
good
rapport
with
the
director
to
shed
your
inhibitions.
To
be
doing
so
with
a
co-star
like
Emraan
was
also
a
big
deal,
isn't
it?
(Laughs)
It
doesn't
make
any
difference
in
how
actors
are
in
real
life
or
in
reel
life
earlier.
What
is
of
utmost
important
is
the
right
casting
for
a
particular
film
and
this
is
what
has
worked
in
case
of
OUATIM.
In
a
setting
that
is
so
dark,
it
is
this
relationship
between
Emraan
and
I
that
brings
in
certain
lightness
to
the
proceedings.
This
is
the
reason
why
songs
too
are
getting
so
much
appreciation
because
they
pretty
much
reflect
the
different
characteristics
of
the
two
individuals.
Okay,
then
why
don't
you
talk
about
the
individual
who
makes
Prachi's
heart
go
boom?
(Smiles)
Yes,
there
is
someone
out
there
but
I
guess
it
is
still
too
early
to
state
anything.
May
be
I
will
open
up
about
everything
later
in
the
day.
You
seem
to
be
really
hesitant
Prachi.
Why
is
that
so,
especially
when
you
are
in
the
world
of
glamour
where
an
artist's
private
life
is
anyways
open
to
public
scrutiny?
Yes,
I
agree.
In
fact
as
a
little
child,
even
I
used
to
be
very
curious
to
know
about
what
was
going
on
in
the
personal
lives
of
actors.
After
all
we
actors
are
in
constant
limelight
24X7
so
it
becomes
even
tougher
to
admit
to
something.
Ab
jab
meri
baari
aayi
hai
toh
I
want
to
be
spoken
about
only
for
my
work!
