Pranutan revealed to India Today that her dad Mohnish Bahl warned her that Bollywood is an uncertain place. “I used to believe that coming from a film family, I would easily bag at least a couple of projects, but dad was quick to point out that my background was an advantage only till I arrived on the set. The minute I faced the camera for the first shot, it didn’t matter whose daughter or granddaughter I was,” she said.
