Balaji
Telefilms
and
Ekta
Kapoor
will
do
anything
for
their
Kasamh
Se
heroine
Bani
aka
Prachi
Desai!
And
if
that
means
getting
her
boyfriend
from
someplace
so
be
it.
Says
a
source
from
Balaji
Telefilms,
"Prachi
is
Ekta's
close
friend.
So
when
Ekta
heard
that
Prachi
had
a
crush
on
this
guy
from
Pune,
called
Varun,
she
went
to
great
lengths
to
get
him
to
Mumbai.
Long-distance
romances
never
flourish
much
and
Prachi
was
finding
it
difficult
to
concentrate
on
work,
so
her
executives
met
the
boy,
offered
him
a
role
in
Ekta's
serial
Kis
Des
Mein
Hai
Meraa
Dil
and
found
him
accommodation
in
Mumbai.
Everything
was
arranged
for
Varun
and
handed
to
him
on
a
platter
as
people
in
Balaji
are
very
fond
of
Prachi
and
don't
want
her
to
feel
upset
about
anything.
This
is
the
first
time
Prachi
has
expressed
her
crush
on
someone
and
they
want
her
to
be
genuinely
happy.
Balaji
doesn't
mind
romances
or
affairs
as
long
as
people
are
happy
and
focused
on
their
work."
Prachi
predictably
denies
the
romance.
"I
am
not
dating
anybody
right
now.
Yes,
I
attended
junior
college
at
Pune
for
a
year
but
I
don't
know
anyone
by
the
name
of
Varun.
I
should
tell
Balaji
to
get
me
people
I
really
have
crushes
on.
When
I
was
in
college,
I
used
to
have
big
crushes
on
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Shahid
Kapoor.
I
find
Farhan
(Akhtar)
very
cute.
From
the
time,
I
was
in
my
8th
grade
I
have
been
a
huge
fan
of
his
and
Dil
Chahta
Hai
which
I
watched
many
times.
Working
with
Farhan
was
a
dream
come
true."
Gushing
more
about
Farhan;
Desai,
who
plays
his
wife
in
Rock
On!!
adds,
"He's
so
witty
and
has
such
a
great
sense
of
humor
apart
from
being
an
amazing
actor.
Farhan
has
this
unusual
knack
of
making
people
feel
comfortable
right
from
the
first
day.
Initially
I
was
very
nervous
but
he
made
me
just
go
with
the
flow."
Talking
about
her
role
in
Rock
On!!
Prachi
says,
"It's
different
from
the
Bani
of
Kasamh
Se.
I
am
the
reason
the
band
gets
back
together.
I
play
Sakshi
who
adores
Farhan
and
wants
to
see
him
happy.
She
keeps
making
compromises
till
one
day
there's
a
turning
point."
Prachi
says
the
transition
from
a
TV
to
film
wasn't
easy.
Currently
she's
doing
Rumy
Jafry's
Life
Partner.
"I
miss
TV.
It's
like
starting
all
over
again
in
films
and
takes
me
back
to
where
I
was.
I
was
the
boss
on
television
and
it
was
my
comfort
zone.
In
the
film
industry,
I
have
to
re-introduce
myself
but
I
am
still
enjoying
myself
and
having
a
great
time.
I
am
lucky
to
have
got
such
good
breaks!"
