5. Growing up, when she talked about becoming a model, her dad teased her that she “looks average”.
6. Pranati got the idea to join India’s Next Top Model at the suggestion of her roommate. Pranati saw there was a ‘Wild Card’ entry section on the website. When she was accepted, she had a day for preparations as the show started on the 2nd day. For that reason, she went on a big shopping spree.
