In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Prachi had spoken about why she was seen less on screen in the last few years. Prachi was quoted as saying, "Had I let that pressure get to me, I would have agreed to all the offers that came to me. I got many roles with great directors and stories but I felt the role wouldn't benefit me in any way. The roles didn't add anything to my career so I'd to let go of those films. It comes from the space of being strong-minded and knowing what I want. Being in the limelight wasn't my goal as anyway I shy away from it."
