Prachi Desai who debuted in Bollywood with 2008 release Rock On says she goes through a constant struggle in trying to break the "girl-next-door" image made. 

"After 'Rock On!!', just like what happens with everyone, I got stereotyped. First of all, because I came from a television background and secondly because I didn't play a glamorous, larger than life character. I wasn't launched in one of those extremely big budget films where I was anyway elevated to that position. After that (Rock On) it was extremely difficult for me to change the perception of 'sweet simple girl next door' and get roles which were my age," Prachi stated.

Also she is getting offer of more mature roles, "I was 19 when I did Rock On!! but I've had the strangest reactions from some of the biggest filmmakers where they met me and were often surprised that I looked so young. I still get offered roles where I am intense, subtle but in real life I think I am kind of opposite of that. But that's an outsiders struggle although out. Whether it is a Kangana from Gangster or Vidya Balan from Parineeta, it takes time to find your best scripts and roles. You just have to keep working hard," she said.

Prachi at this stage want to do a love story, "I am very keen to take on interesting roles because this is the time when people are also open to do new things, chose different topics which also makes us fearless to take on different subjects. Personally, I would like to do a love story."
