Prachi Desai craves for "Dilli ki sardi" for a Christmassy feel. The actress says she loves to visit the capital during December when there is a nip in the air.

"Being a Mumbai girl, Delhi winter is something I really enjoy. It is super chilly but this is something I crave for at this time of the year. In December, you always want to experience the chill otherwise you don't feel that Christmas is around the corner and new year is coming," Prachi told IANS.

The actress, who was here to inaugurate Shoppers Stop's new store at Janakpuri last week, added that "Delhi helps you get the true festive feel".

 

On the film front, she will be seen with Emraan Hashmi in "Azhar", and will also be a part of "Rock On 2" with an ensemble star cast including Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Shraddha Kapoor.
