Bollywood actors are making it big on the small screen.
Over the years, many top actors have made their TV debut as either the host, judge or as the lead of a daily.
The next Bollywood actress to make her presence felt on TV will be the very elegant and beautifulUrvashi Sharma, who plays the titular role in Zee TV’s upcoming show Amma (Salt Media).
Urvashi for the first time will play a de-glam avatar, that of the main lead Zeenat. She will be a fearless mother who will emerge as the matriarch to millions.
At the recently held press conference, Urvashi spoke about the show, character, her daughter and more.
Firstly, tell us what brings you to television?
The fabulous script, storyline and the way the show has been shot. They aren’t shooting it like a daily soap but like a movie. In films, women don’t get the opportunity to explore themselves, but TV does offer a lot of scope. TV is female centric while Bollywood is male dominated. Above all, Amma is not a saas bahu saga, that’s why I opted for this show.

It is a real life story of an ordinary woman who gets into demanding circumstances and how she rises up and becomes a godmother for all.
Did the project appeal you more because you are a mother?
Yes, definitely. Motherhood is amazing. Kids bring joy in your life.
What was your first thought when you were offered this show?
The first thing that came in my mind was my daughter Samaira. We are shooting away from Mumbai in Hyderabad. My daughter being the youngest in the family is pampered a lot. I have brought her here in Hyderabad to make sure she gets my attention. I have made all the possible arrangements so that she doesn’t get bored.
Your look is very different, tell us about it?
My look has been styled by stylist Ajay Kumar who has designed costumes for Ramleela, Bajirao Mastani, Phatom and more. He is very talented and I am happy with my look. I am also using my own gold jewellery as I am allergic to artificial ones.
What was Sachin’s reaction when he heard the script?
It was Sachin who convinced me to take up the project. He is very supportive as a husband.
Do you watch TV?
I haven’t got time to watch TV or films after Samaira was born. I have never left her alone or with a maid. I am not very ambitious and I have always preferred spending time with family. My family has been my first priority.
Do you think with the character of Zeenat, you will able to create an impact on the minds of audiences?
Definitely, every young girl will feel that she should grow up to be like Zeenat. Every woman will consider her as their role model. She is going to be an inspiration to all women.
Any plan of having a second baby?
Sachin wants a second baby, but it’s the woman who has to go through all the pain. I first want to concentrate on Amma; we will plan for it later.
Have you ever gone to producers seeking work?
Never, I have been fortunate to get work easily. People have to struggle in Mumbai but I have never faced hard time. I am lucky enough to be at home and fulfil all my wishes. I shop and buy jewellery every second day. So I am blessed to have such a life.
Can we see you participating in a reality show like Bigg Boss?
I have been offered Bigg Boss earlier, but I don’t wish to be part of such shows. I can’t fight with people. If someone fights with me, I will be quiet and make sure that I will never cross the path of that person again.
Are you fine kissing on-screen?
No, I don’t think it’s needed. There are women who kiss on-screen, but I am not comfortable.
What you do in your free time?
I spend time with my family. I don’t party, booze or smoke. I like to have a nice meal with my friends and family instead of dancing in a dark room.
Good luck Urvashi!
