Her
Mother
Didn't
Talk
To
Her
Until
She
Achieved
Her
Dreams
Pratyusha's
glamour
world
dreams
began
at
an
early
age.
She
recalled
once
that
she
liked
models
ever
since
she
was
only
3
years
old.
When
she
came
to
Mumbai
for
the
first
time,
her
mother
had
told
everyone
back
home
that
she
wouldn't
talk
to
Pratyusha
until
she
achieved
something
in
life.
Her
mother
didn't
see
her
face
for
more
than
half
a
year!
This
Is
How
She
Landed
The
Role
Of
Anandi
"I
was
called
after
they
saw
my
Facebook
profile.
I
had
no
idea
about
the
audition
so
I
just
went
there
without
makeup
or
anything
wearing
a
long
dress.
I
got
shortlisted
on
day
1
but
that
was
not
for
Balika
Vadhu
but
for
some
other
show
of
the
same
production
house.
I
got
rejected
thrice
by
the
same
production
house."
Pratyusha's
Phone
Was
Taken
Away
Pratyusha
said
that
she
got
scoldings
for
months
in
a
row
when
she
started
her
acting
career.
Though
the
director
scolded
her
a
lot,
she
owes
her
success
to
him.
It
was
when
her
phone
was
taken
away
that
she
realized
her
journey
was
not
going
to
be
easy.
She
Quit
Jhalak
Dikhlaa
Jaa
And
Balika
Vadhu
"I
quit
Jhalak
for
Balika
Vadhu.
I
suffered
from
dengue,
I
was
in
ICU
for
three
days
and
then
I
quit
Balika
Vadhu.
I
needed
a
change
and
wanted
to
experience
new
things"
she
had
said.
Her
Father
Convinced
Her
To
Act
In
Sasural
Simar
Ka
"I
was
in
Puri
when
I
got
a
call
that
the
character
was
negative.
I
denied
but
then
my
father
convinced
me
to
take
up
the
role.
He
cited
the
example
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan
saying
how
he
switches
between
characters.
So
I
finally
said
yes
to
the
role",
Pratyusha
had
stated
earlier.
