But she landed her first-ever role in quite an interesting way. She had her exams when she got the opportunity to audition for her debut show Jaat Na Pucho Prem Ki. The young actress, a mass media and journalism student, was in her second year of college when she received an audition call for the show while still taking her final semester exams. This put her in a difficult situation. She decided to skip writing her exam in favor of the audition to pursue her long-held passion of becoming an actor. And she did not turn around.
Talking to an entertainment portal about how she arrived at this decision, Pranali said, “I was extremely excited as this was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, it came at the time when it was my last exam, and I had to decide either to appear for the exam or skip it to be an actor. I have wanted to pursue acting as a profession ever since the age of 5 and thus decided to go for it and gave my all to the audition. I luckily bagged this huge role but got my first KT, which I am going to surely clear this month.”
