What went wrong with Urmila? - Page 2

I think she made it big, Is one of the most versatile actress , Some of RGV's best movies starred Urmila. She is a good dancer, good actor, Just she was not part of Johar,Chopra clan and that's why she was not that hyped

Urmila's fault was that once she reached the top she more or less exclusively worked with RGV. Once he lost interest in her he stopped giving her lead roles. She too became a recluse at her peak refusing to meet the media or other industry folks.

While she did have a few good movies, in general looking back she overacts a lot.

I think she did well for herself. How many child actors can get the fame she got without being a star kid? Essentially she was aged out like all the female stars. Not even Rani, Madhuri, Rekha etc who reached peak stardom could sustain their careers.

I don't find her beautiful at all but yes she is talented. She should have done at least one YRF or Dharma film during her peak. That would have hyped her.

her paring with fardeen khan i remember

Why do u think being a so called number one is the be a or done all thing for an actress and otherwise she didn't make it big?
Akshay Kumar has never in his career been the number one. There has always been a male actor who would have been number one at the time. But it can never take away from the factor Akshay is a super successful actor who made it all! And I can give lists of male names who fall in this category like Ajay and HR etc.
Why is it for actresses this one number one spot and if they don't make it they aren't considered successful? Why can't many of them coexist like men do

If an actress had a career span of 8+ yrs and continued to get lead roles for that time, and commercial success at least once in two yrs during that time I'd consider that a successful BW career.
Right now actresses shelf life is thankfully getting much longer to 15+ yrs as solo leads and hopefully will continue to do like male actors have managed but as of yet I'd consider Urmila a success (I'm not a fan as I started watching movies a little after her peak time)

I guess she didn't manage to stay relevant.

Urmila worked exclusively for RGV during the peak of her career m she was never part of Chopra or Johar banner. Besides she herself never paid much attention toward her own career. Once RGV replaced her with other actresses, she stopped doing anything in general

I mentioned it in the first para, failed to make it big as her contemporaries / other big stars like Aishwarya, Sridevi, Madhuri, Kajol, Rani, Karishma etc etc who at one point of time ruled as the no.1 actress. Urmila was never the number 1 actress as them.. even though she had all the qualities to become one.
