Prachi admits never giving importance to her mother's dreams

Bollywood actress Prachi Desai says her mother has sacrificed "her dreams for me and I owe everything to her". She adds that she has yet to visit a theatre with her mom.

The 24-year-old, who started working at the age of 17, said her mother has been her pillar of strength.

`My mother used to teach in my hometown, Panchgani. She left her career and house just to be with me in Mumbai. I was too young at that time. And she supported me throughout, ` the actress told reporters here Friday.

The actress, who often receives compliments that she resembles her mother, knows everything about her mother: "Her favourite colours are white and blue. I have never watched a film with her, but her favourite movies are 'Kati Patang' and 'Mera Saya. "

The actress was here with her mother Amita Desai to launch a survey on mothers done by P&G Thank You, Mom on the occasion of Mothers Day (May 12).

On Mother's Day, Prachi wants her mom to visit Panchgani.

`I want them to visit Panchgani, where we lived and grew up. They love the place. They will relive their beautiful memories of staying in the house, ` she said wistfully.

Though Prachi's mother is proud of how her daughter for balancing her personal and professional life, but complains that the actress doesn't take care of herself.

`She neglects her health while working, so I keep telling her to eat on time etc, ` said Amita.
