On
Second
Marriage
Speaking
to
a
news
channel
about
her
married
life,
Pragathi
said,
"I
was
young
and
naive.
I
am
confident
and
egoistic.
I
didn't
listen
to
my
mother
and
got
married
quite
early
on
age.
My
decision
harmed
my
life."
Pragathi
About
Her
Married
Life
Pragathi
further
added,
"To
come
out
of
the
consequences
of
a
bad
decision
is
also
difficult.
I
regret
taking
my
career
for
granted
during
my
prime
time
and
now,
after
having
children,
I
shifted
to
television
and
character
roles."
Pragathi
On
Her
Second
Marriage
When
asked
about
her
plans
to
re-marry
Pragathi
said,
"I
would
say
having
a
companion
is
more
important
than
getting
married.
But
to
find
the
right
person
is
a
challenge.
I
am
particular
in
a
few
things
and
got
habituated
to
living
like
this.
Even
if
I
find
someone
interesting,
I
wouldn't
adjust
now.
I'd
rather
live
alone
than
get
into
the
adjustment
cycle
again."
