Prachi Desai, who was last seen romancing Abhishek Bachchan in the hit film, Bol Bachchan (2012), has now been paired with 53-year-old Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming movie, Samy. But the 25 year-old is unperturbed about the age difference “I was 17 when I made my TV debut as Bani in the TV show Kasamh Se. Bani is married to the much-older Jai, played by Ram Kapoor. I wasn’t sure if I could pull off that role as I was new to acting. Now, I’m more confident,” said Prachi. The actor recalls having grown up watching Sanjay’s films. “He was always this huge Bollywood superstar I idolised — all muscles on the outside, soft on the inside. I’ve always wanted to be paired with an older actor, be it Sanjay or Ajay (Devgn), because I feel the older man-younger woman angles make for interesting plots,” said Prachi.
