Being brave and experimental is Prachi Desai’s fashion mantra. The actor says she has come out of her “play safe” mode and likes to experiment more when it comes to her style.
“I like to experiment. I think I have become braver and a little more fearless with time when it comes to fashion. Because when you start out, you are a little cautious as you want to be comfortable and play safe. But I think with time, you get a little more fearless from personal experience,” Prachi said in an interview.
“I think once that starts happening, you start enjoying a lot more. I enjoy fashion much more now although I think I need to experiment with way more stuff,” she added.
The actor started acting from television. She used to be clad in shalwars, suits and saris for Kasamh Se, but got a trendy and chic onscreen makeover for her Bollywood debut Rock On!! in 2008. Prachi, who will soon be seen with Emraan Hashmi in Azhar, a biopic of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin, feels style is very personal trait.

“Fashion to me is very subjective. There are things which are thought to be in vogue, in style in particular season, but I think it can also be personalised. So if you are brave enough to experiment and carry things in a very stylish way then it can also be as fashionable as anything else,” the actor added.
Talking of experiment, one cannot miss her new short and slick hairdo. Prachi is happy as the hairstyle goes in sync with her professional commitments. “I have wanted to go for a short crop since a long time, but there were some sort of commitments which kept me from going for this haircut. Generally in our films, we have long hair as the most glamourous and the most conventional style. But this is something that I wanted for long time and this was the perfect time for it as this hair cut goes well with my look in Rock On 2,” she said.
Rock On 2 is a sequel to Rock On!! and brings back some of the original cast members like Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli apart from Prachi along with new entrant Shraddha Kapoor.
After Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Prachi Desai is working with Emraan Hashmi again in Azhar. As the clock keeps ticking, her experience of working with Emraan is only getting better.
“I’m working with him after four years and of course, so much has changed in our personal and professional lives. We have evolved as persons and professionals, but when it comes to shooting together it, we have an amazing rapport, comfort level and chemistry.
“His sense of humour has also become nastier. It is a lot more fun shooting with him,” said Prachi. She admires the fact that Emraan ensures both of them look good together, instead of just focusing on himself.

“Unlike all other actors, he thinks beyond himself and makes sure that we both look good together on screen and that makes the experience more fulfilling.”
Emraan and Prachi’s romantic song Pee loon from Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai continues to rule the hearts of many. And she hopes to create something more romantic with Azhar.
“We hope we create something better than that and more different. I know people loved it and want that same magic again. Our fingers are crossed because we have really worked hard on it,” she said.
