At the age of 14, Urvashi made her big television debut with Dekh Bhai Dekh.

At 15 years, she bagged her second show Zamana Badal Gaya.

Urvashi was quite the daredevil in her youth. She fell in love and even tied the knot 16, something many of us wouldn't imagine doing.

Unfortunately, her marriage did not last long and she separated from her husband at 18, gave birth to her twin sons Kshitij and Sagar when she was 19. She has brought up her sons single-handedly. Yes, that's one lady you do not wanna mess with.

Urvashi has completed her schooling but did not attend college as she had married and life put the actress on another path soon after.

Her role of Komolika in Ekta Kapoor's original Kasautii Zindagii Kay was like Urvashi's rebirth on television. Till date, she remains the audience's favourite television vamp.

At the peak of fame and career- winning Bigg Boss 6, Urvashi risked taking a 2-year break to spend time with her sons.

She is a trained Bharatnatyam dancer. Now we know where all that grace and flair for dancing came from in Urvashi's Nach Baliye 9 stint, apart from all the back-breaking mehnat, of course! Happy Birthday, Urvashi... Keep Rocking!!
