Rachana Dubey (BOMBAY TIMES; April 11, 2021)

After making her debut with the TV show Kasamh Se, when she was all of 17, Prachi Desai made swift moves, and landed herself a prominent role in Abhishek Kapoor’s Rock On!! Post that, the actress was seen in Milan Luthria’s multistarrer Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. While she had already made a crack in the Bollywood space, after 2015, the actress slowed down and started picking fewer projects. Though she has been reading scripts and has given the nod to a string of projects recently, she was missing from the scene for the last few years.

In fact, a lot of people wondered whether the actress was thinking of tying the knot. When asked if marriage was on her mind, or there was any pressure from her family to go down that way, she said, “My parents have brought me up in such a way that I never saw marriage as a safety net or as something I would turn to if my career slowed down for a bit or something didn’t work out. We come from a humble background, and we feel that it’s a big deal that we have reached this far. For them and for me, whatever I have done is something that I completely own. I have made it this far in my profession on my own, with no godfathers. My parents have always respected my space and never spoken about marriage or finding a guy.”

She further adds, “You know, I have been married so many times on screen that I think I am done with it for now. Whoever the guy for me is, he better be prepared. I live on my terms and I love my independence too much to give it up for marriage right now. I won’t mind being married a few years later, but again, only if and when someone perfect comes along.”
