Ram Kapoor for the first time talked about his experience working with the then-seventeen-year-old actress, Prachi Desai. Their show, Kasamh Se was an instant hit and Prachi was studying in twelvth class, when Ekta Kapoor discovered her and rest is history. Recently, Ram revealed his experience of working with an extremely young actress.
The 2006 show, Kasamh Se was an instant hit, and so was the chemistry between Prachi Desai and Ram Kapoor, who played 'Bani' and 'Jai Walia' respectively on the show. Recently, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ram revealed that he was working as the main lead and he had a 17-year-old young girl opposite him, as it was the requirement of the show.
Ram revealed that Prachi was seventeen when she started working on the show. When they went for an outdoor shoot in Dubai, he had to sign a form and became Prachi's legal guardian to enter the country. Recalling the whole craze, Ram said:
"I was the main lead, I was the hero and I had a 17-year-old opposite me, what is the problem? The story was such! She was 17 when she started working. When we went to Dubai for shooting I had to sign a form and become her legal guardian to enter the country. But the story was such and I trusted Ekta (Kapoor, the maker of the show). I trusted her casting. At that time she (Prachi) was totally new but look at how fantastic she was in Kasamh Se."
Ram further added that he is still in touch with Prachi Desai. He stated that she is like his daughter. Ram also revealed that he had met Prachi and had posted a picture with her on Instagram. Ram even talked about Prachi Desai's career. He stated that she had left television for film, which is justified and she starred in the superhit film, Rock On (2008), opposite Farhan Akhtar. He said:
"I don’t know. She is another person who left television for films. But she left it for the right film because she left Kasamh Se for Rock On (2008) opposite Farhan Akhtar. Rock On became a hit. Nobody at that time… I could not point a finger at her and ask, ‘Prachi, what are you doing?’ Yes we had a superhit show but Rock On is a Farhan Akhtar film and she is playing his wife, opposite him."
Ram added that Prachi didn't do anything wrong by taking the role in the film. He said:

"So it wasn’t a secondary role. So technically she didn’t do anything wrong. After that I don’t know what she did or didn’t do. You have to make the right choices. If you are lucky enough to get work then you have to make the right choices. If you make one wrong choice, maybe you are lucky enough to get a second chance. Make two wrong choices, 'bye bye.'"
