This actress quickly became known as one of TV’s most glamorous and stunning mothers
Her unique style made her a favorite as the show’s unforgettable villain. Urvashi Dholakia began her career in the glamour industry in the early ’90s. However, it was her role as the famous villain Komolika that made her an overnight sensation and a household name.
She quickly became known as one of TV’s most glamorous and stunning mothers. Although she found success early on, her personal life hasn’t been without its struggles. She faced a tough divorce in her late teens, became a mother at a young age, and dealt with heartbreaks and rumors about her relationships.
While Urvashi Dholakia’s career achievements are widely recognized, her personal journey is not as well known. Today, we’ll dive into the challenges she’s faced in her life.
Her iconic entrances, dramatic close-ups showcasing her expressive face and intense eyes, and the famous ‘Nikaaaa’ as she schemed to trouble Prerna made Komolika an unforgettable character. This role quickly won her many fans! Urvashi herself has admitted that Komolika is one of her most iconic roles, and even now, people often associate her with that character.
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, she said, “It has been 16 years now, and the character [Komolika] is still embedded in people’s minds. I hope that all my other characters also get embedded in the same way. It is such an achievement for me that fans still remember my role and talk to me about it even today.”
Her personal life:
Urvashi Dholakia got married at 16 and became a mother at 17. Sadly, just a year and a half later, she became a single mother after separating from her husband, whose identity remains private. Despite being one of the most beautiful actresses in television, Urvashi didn’t find love easily after her divorce.
In a 2016 interview with HT, she explained why she didn’t remarry or get into serious relationships. She shared, “People often linked me to various people, and I found those rumors funny. I was even linked to an industrialist once, and I joked, ‘Please introduce me to him.’ The truth is, I was focused on my work. Being a single mom and caring for my family took up all my time. I had responsibilities and didn’t have the time to think about my personal life. I’ve never hidden anything, so why would I hide a relationship? My boys and my family are my priority.”
Her rumoured relationship with Anuj Sachdeva
In an interview with SpotboyE, Urvashi explained why they never publicly acknowledged their relationship, stating, “I never accepted because once you do, a lot of speculations about your relationship start. People talk about what they want to and by the time it’s the couple’s turn to speak on it, they are probably not in the mood to or they never get a chance to. Also, I have been very private about my personal life and thankfully the media has respected it. But now, when I finally have an opportunity to vent my heart, I am coming to you guys to do the khulaasa and tell the world, ‘Yeh lo ji, yeh hain humare Ex.'”
Urvashi Dholakia faced many challenges while raising her twin sons, Sagar and Kshitij, as a single mother. After her divorce just a year and a half into her marriage, she took on the responsibility of caring for and providing for her children on her own. Starting her career at a young age, Urvashi worked hard to give her kids the best life possible. Over the years, she has shared her experiences in interviews, inspiring many single mothers.
In one such interview, Urvashi shared, “Being a single mother was difficult. People tell me how I don’t look like a mother and how I haven’t aged. It’s amusing. Why will I age? I am 37. Many harp over the fact that I had my sons when I was 17. But what is the big deal? I take these comments in a positive way. I am proud of my journey, which has been a long one.”
Overcame all obstacles to become a star
Urvashi Dholakia is a true example of resilience, rising like a phoenix despite the many challenges life threw her way. Instead of letting adversity bring her down, she chose to face life boldly and with strength.
According to media reports, the actress, who won Bigg Boss 6, earns Rs 50,000 per show.
