Prachi Desai is one of the few outsiders who have managed to make it big in filmdom. But the actress, who hopes to do 25 films in future, says it is not so easy for such people to get first break in Bollywood.

 
I feel that the industry can be unfair sometimes. When you are an outsider, people don’t take you seriously. I personally think you need an extreme push for people to promote you and bring you to a certain level.

the 23-year-old told in an interview.

The young actress, who started her career as the lead in TV show “Kasamh Se”, made her Bollywood debut opposite Farhan Akhtar in “Rock On!!”. She was then seen in “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai”, in which she was paired with Emraan Hashmi, and also was in the cast of recently released “Teri Meri Kahaani”.

Her next is Rohit Shetty’s “Bol Bachchan”. Coming out Friday, the comedy will see her playing Ajay Devgn’s sister who is an educated and modern girl. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Asin Thottumkal in major roles.

Prachi says it is important for an actor to be ambitious.

Every actor has to be ambitious, otherwise you can’t survive in the industry. Every small little thing can completely bog you down. I am ambitious, but I am not over-ambitious. I know things that I can do and things that I can’t. I am hoping for this year to be a great year.

she said.

As far as future projects are concerned, Prachi has teamed up with John Abraham in debutant director Kapil Sharma’s “I Me Aur Mein”.

When asked where she sees herself five years from now, she said:

Five years down the line, I hope that I do at least 25 films. I would love to work with Farhan as a director. He is also one of my favourite directors because of ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. I want to work with Rohit Shetty again. I am hoping to do a film with Ajay (Devgn) because I haven’t been paired with him

The Rock On!! babe was pretty thrilled to team up with the successful pair of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, who have made some of the biggest blockbusters in recent times. But when Prachi Desai arrived for the first day of the film’s shoot in Jaipur, she started having doubts about doing the project. In an interview the young actor said, “The kind of roles and films I had done earlier were rather serious, so working on Bol Bachchan was like being thrown into a madhouse. It took me a week to adjust. For the first few days I thought I was in the wrong place.”

When we asked her why she felt she wasn’t meant to be there, this is what she had to say: “On my first day I had a scene that was three or four pages long. Abhishek and I had a dialogue. I was supposed to be angry in the scene. We did 27 retakes for a simple scene. And it was just because Abhishek would start laughing in every shot.”

Initially Prachi thought she was doing something wrong, but later discovered that her stern-looking director had ordered her onscreen lover to make her first day at work miserable. The television star turned film actor recalls, “Rohit had instructed Abhishek to make me nervous and start laughing in every shot. So for the first few days I didn’t know what was happening. But the next time they tried to play a prank on me, I caught them.” After that, she says, working on Bol Bachchan was a fun-filled ride. Let’s hope the journey ends on a happy note.
