Prachi Desai, who shot to fame with Ekta Kapoor’s popular soap opera Kasam Se (2006-2009) before transitioning to films with Abhishek Kapoor’s musical drama Rock On!! (2008), recently returned to acting with a ZEE5 Original, titled Silence… Can You Hear It?
During promotions, when the actress was asked if she was thinking of settling down in life, 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 do if my career slowed down for a bit or something did not work out. We belong to a really humble background and we feel it is a big deal that we have come this far. For them and for me, it is something I completely own that I have made it this far in my profession on my own, with no godfathers or hand-holders”, Desai said.
The actress went on to add, “My parents have always respected my space and never spoken about marriage or finding a guy. When my friends actually tell me that their parents are bringing up the topic at home, I find it a little surprising and odd because my parents never do that. You know, I have been married so many times on screen that I think I am done with it for now. Whoever the guy is for me, 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.”
Also starring Manoj Bajpayee and Arjun Mathur in lead roles, Silence… Can You Hear It? is currently streaming on ZEE5.
