An
SMS
can
truly
reveal
an
individual's
personality.
Well,
for
most
of
the
times.
This
is
how
I
felt
when
I
first
started
interacting
with
Prachi
Desai.
I
missed
it
during
her
initial
brush
with
Bollywood
with
Rock
On
and
Life
Partner
but
this
was
not
going
to
be
the
case
with
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai.
We
exchanged
a
few
texts
and
the
content
that
followed
revealed
a
couple
of
characteristic
traits.
Firstly,
the
language
ensured
that
she
would
be
a
sweet
and
simple
person
to
talk
to.
Secondly,
a
free
use
of
words
meant
that
it
is
also
going
to
be
a
long
and
lively
conversation.
Never
mind
the
to-and-fro
that
happened,
the
wait
was
truly
worth
it
as
Prachi
ended
up
being
someone
you
would
love
to
hang
out
with
and
have
an
engaging
conversation
over
a
coffee.
Here
is
excerpts
from
the
interview:-
You
played
a
young,
sweet
and
simple
married
girl
in
Rock
On
and
followed
it
up
with
Life
Partner
where
you
were
again
a
young
married
girl
next
door.
Now
you
are
a
middle
class
girl
next
door
in
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai.
Don't
you
get
worried
with
the
thoughts
of
getting
typecast
in
such
roles?
Initially
it
was
more
of
a
problem
when
it
came
to
getting
typecast
especially
since
I
was
just
getting
out
of
television
medium.
In
fact
I
consciously
took
on
roles
which
were
not
very
mature.
I
am
21
right
now
and
was
just
19
when
I
did
Rock
On.
I
didn't
want
to
do
any
mature
roles
at
this
age.
If
I
do
that
now,
I
would
have
done
that;
there
wouldn't
have
been
anything
left
to
do
tomorrow
when
I
grow
up.
But
don't
you
want
to
experiment?
Of
course
all
actors
want
to
experiment
so
that
audience
do
not
get
bored.
However,
each
and
every
actor
has
to
look
at
a
specific
genre,
especially
in
the
early
years.
This
is
what
I
did
for
my
first
couple
of
films
but
yes,
now
is
the
time
to
bring
about
that
change.
Through
OUATIM,
I
can
hopefully
see
a
change
in
image
because
audience
will
get
to
know
that
I
can
be
a
lot
different.
The
obvious
response
that
I
am
expecting
from
you
is
that
the
film
turned
out
to
be
a
fulfilling
experience.
So
should
I
ask
-
'How
was
the
experience
of
working
in
OUATIM?'
(Laughs)
Well,
how
much
fulfilling
it
actually
was
is
something
that
would
be
known
once
the
film
releases.
Let
these
next
few
days
pass
and
we
will
know
what
the
film
and
my
role
is
all
about.
However,
personally
as
an
actor,
this
film
has
been
extremely
satisfying.
Still,
one
can't
be
sure
of
audience
reception
because
in
Bollywood,
due
to
the
kind
of
career
and
job
option
that
you
have,
the
journey
ahead
is
always
so
much
uncertain.
It
is
something
today
and
altogether
different
tomorrow.
You
may
have
your
own
reasoning
and
still
changes
could
be
so
drastic.
You
can
just
plan
but
it
could
all
be
of
no
use.
Aaj
kuch
hai
aur
kal
kuch
aur.
Even
with
so
much
all
around
uncertainty,
you
must
have
been
sure
about
one
thing
at
the
least
and
i.e.
a
passionate
sequence
with
Serial
Kisser
Emraan
Hashmi,
isn't
it?
Since
you
are
known
to
be
averse
to
display
of
skin
and
moments
of
lip
lock,
did
you
actually
get
it
written
in
your
contract
that
there
won't
be
any
kissing
scenes
involved?
You
are
trying
to
make
it
out
as
a
big
scandal
where
there
wasn't
any
actually
(smiles).
In
fact
I
always
laughed
this
out
because
right
from
the
very
beginning,
Milan
(Luthria)
was
very
clear
about
my
role
and
the
film.
He
knew
that
with
this
film,
he
would
be
changing
the
typical
way
of
making
gangster
films.
I
too
was
extremely
sure
of
what
I
had
to
do
in
the
film
and
carried
no
doubts
about
it.
So
yes,
to
answer
your
question,
I
didn't
have
to
explicitly
ask
him
or
put
down
that
whether
I
had
to
do
any
kissing
scenes
or
not.
I
wasn't
worried
because
I
knew
that
wouldn't
be
the
case.
While
Milan
may
have
been
flexible
enough
to
allow
you
to
do
things
your
own
way
or
don
the
kind
of
outfit
where
you
felt
comfortable,
not
all
filmmakers
can
be
expected
to
be
accommodating
in
a
similar
manner.
In
fact
some
may
even
term
this
as
interference.
See,
I
am
a
director's
actor
and
would
never
want
to
interfere
with
his
vision.
This
is
why
I
have
never
requested
anything
to
be
changed
in
the
script
of
any
of
my
films.
However,
there
are
some
matters
where
you
have
be
yourself
because
they
deal
with
the
way
you
are
presented
on
screen.
Some
actors
don't
mind
that
because
they
are
new
and
feel
that
that
it's
okay
to
consent
to
everything.
But
sorry,
I
am
not
that
kind
of
a
person.
Milan
understands
this
fact
and
due
to
his
truthful
nature,
he
was
extremely
clear
about
what
he
wanted.
In
fact
for
the
Bobby
sequence,
he
gave
us
a
month
to
prepare
so
that
Emraan
could
get
his
six
abs
and
I
could
be
leaner.
Did
you
know
about
the
Bobby
sequence
though
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
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.
