Pragya Jaiswal is excited about T-town debut

Not too long ago, Pragya Jaiswal was on her way to become a lawyer, but destiny had other plans for her. Born and brought up in Jabalpur, she enrolled herself in a law school in Pune and all seemed to be going fine until she got infatuated with glamour and glitz.
���I used to take part in dance competitions in almost all the college festivals and that���s when someone suggested that I take part in beauty pageants.I never thought I was pretty, until plenty of people reminded me that I would make it big as a model. So, before I took the plunge in modelling, I completed my studies and later, I went on to take part in Miss India beauty pageant,��� Pragya recalls, adding, ���It was a great opportunity and it boosted my confidence.���
Soon after graduating from college, she moved to Mumbai to join a law firm; however, the joining date got delayed which led her to do a series of ad campaigns for big brands. ���My parents were okay with me pursuing what I was really interested in. The thing with modelling or acting is, nothing works out if you don���t take it up seriously. You have to keep honing your skills no matter what happens,��� she says.
In Telugu, she���ll soon be seen in a romantic comedy, Mirchi Laanti Kurrodu in which she���s paired up with Abhijeet Duddala. ���It���s a love story which is set in a college. I play the role of a girl who is sweet and sensitive whereas the boy is aggressive and crazy. I have been shooting in Hyderabad for quite sometime and I have totally fallen in love with the city. The people are so warm and everything feels so familiar,��� Pragya reveals.
Ask her what she would do, if not for acting and pat comes the reply, ���There���s so much to learn in life, but at this moment, I can���t think about anything other than movies. I have just got started and it���s going to be a long road ahead for me.Apart from the Telugu film, I have also signed an international film and we���ll begin shooting the film soon.���
