At a time when she won medals and her film career was also going well, what was needed to make such a comment became the talk of the town. In the wake of those comments, Pragathi has now come forward to explain what she actually meant.

In a fresh statement, Pragathi said that she never quit films for powerlifting or wrestling. The popular actress, who has also represented India in wrestling and won medals for the country, explained, “I never said I’m leaving cinema. I’m a reasonably good actress and would continue to do my job. That’s my bread and butter too,” she clarified.
