Urvashi
TV actress

Rakhi > As a serious actress with a theater background, do you feel any frustrations when you find quality being compromised on commercial TV serials?
Urvashi > Well, at times you do feel (it) when you are particularly shooting a scene. It may take hours to do the scene but still you may not feel satisfied by the end of the day because theatre and television are two different fields completely. In the sense, in theater you have too many rehearsals but as far as television is concerned you get the script at the last minute and don't have much (time) to improvise and probably that's where the compromise takes place.

Wajoo > Hello M'am ! As an ardent fan of yours from Pakistan I want to know what does it feel to have so much fame and fortune?
Urvashi > It feels very nice to be acknowledged and loved by people not just from our own country but from other countries too even after playing the worst one on the television.

Shradha > What actually did you receive from this television industry
Urvashi > I have got everything that any girl or person at 26 would desire for and mostly it is the acceptance by all (of) you people.

Ashu777map41 > How did you become an actress and which serial do you like the most
Urvashi > Well, the world of acting opened up for me at the age of six. It's been exactly 20 years now. Hence, it is a very long story to say how it started. For me television is very exciting so I like most of the shows.

Rahul > With the kind of negative women characters being shown on TV these days (Ramola Sikand etc), do you think it's sending out the right message to the people about women? Do you feel any responsibility as to how you are contributing to the society?
Urvashi > Well, we are not here to send any kind of messages to women as such. We are basically doing our job. That's acting as we are in the entertainment world. And we are not the only women who you have seen in negative characters. Our industry has created legends from yesteryears negative (onscreen) characters. As far as contributing to the society goes, I as Urvashi Dholakia in person am a very responsible member of the society.

Urva > Kamolika has overshadowed even your own personality. Do you think personally you will get type cast in a negative role? And no one will offer you a positive role?
Urvashi > Komolika has in no way overshadowed my own personality, as there are thousands of people who till today relate to me today as Urvashi. As far as getting typecast in a negative role is concerned, that might not just be true but then by the end of the day let's see if you accept me in a positive way.
