By Puri
Actress
Prachi
Desai,
who
plays
a
chic
hairdresser
in
John
Abraham
starrer
I,
Me
Aur
Main,
says
the
romantic
drama
is
a
turning
point
in
her
career.
Interestingly,
it
is
for
the
first
time
in
her
five
year
old
career
in
Bollywood
that
Prachi,
24,
is
playing
her
age
onscreen.
"I
have
always
played
characters
which
are
either
very
quiet
or
beyond
my
age.
For
the
first
time,
I
am
playing
a
character
which
is
like
my
real
self.
As
Rock
On
was
my
stepping
stone
in
the
industry,
similarly
I,
Me
aur
Main
will
be
the
turning
point
as
it
will
portray
a
new
Prachi
Desai," the
actress
told
PTI.
In
the
film,
which
also
stars
Chitrangada
Singh,
Prachi
plays
a
pivotal
character
which
is
the
reason
behind
the
change
in
John's
character.
"Gauri
is
my
favourite
character
because
she
is
so
similar
to
me
in
real
life.
She
is
a
livewire
and
free-spirited.
She
is
living
her
life
to
the
fullest
and
wants
everybody
around
to
do
the
same.
She
is
a
hairstylist
by
profession.
Between
her
and
John
the
equation
is
so
fantastic.
They
are
pals.
She
is
one
reason
in
the
film
for
whom
John
changes," she
said.
Asked
about
her
on-screen
chemistry
with
John
in
the
film,
Prachi
said,
"Sharing
the
screen
space
with
John
was
fantastic.
He
could
be
anyone's
favourite
co-star.
John
has
a
quirky
sense
of
humour
and
he
is
one
of
the
most
accommodating
actors."
Prachi
started
her
career
with
TV
serial
Kasam
Se
when
she
was
17-year-old
and
after
that
she
starred
in
various
films
including
Bol
Bachchan,
Once
Upon
a
time
in
Mumbai
and
Life
Partner.
The
actress
says
she
is
happy
about
her
film
choices.
"My
journey
in
the
industry
was
difficult
initially
because
I
was
an
outsider.
I
am
lucky
that
I
have
been
a
part
of
some
good
films
and
made
good
choices,"
she
said.
The
actress
says
she
has
left
TV
for
sometime
and
will
only
return
if
she
gets
a
chance
to
judge
a
reality
show.
"It's
very
unfortunate
that
in
our
country
you
have
to
do
either
of
the
two.
There
is
always
a
gap
in
TV
content
as
compared
to
the
subjects
in
western
countries,
TV
content
in
India
is
not
progressive.
So,
I
chose
films.
I
will
comeback
if
I
get
a
chance
to
judge
a
reality
show,"
she
said.
Prachi
will
next
be
seen
in
Vikram
Bhatt's
horror
franchise
1920
part
3
opposite
a
newcomer
where
she
will
play
a
princess.
"The
story
is
set
in
London
in
1920
era.
I
will
play
a
princess
and
will
get
to
experiment
with
lot
of
looks.
We
will
be
shooting
the
film
at
the
'Harry
Potter;
locations
and
I
am
really
excited
about
it."
