Kasautii Zindagi Kay's Urvashi Dholakia expresses being typecast and reveals why she will not do negative roles again; Says ‘They can’t think of me beyond that one role?’

MUMBAI : Urvashi Dholakia has an enormous fan base. She is best known for playing Komolika in the television show Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Her eternal beauty and flawless fashion choices are equally well-known. With her part in Pushpa Impossible, the actress never stops entertaining the crowd.

Despite being most known for being Komolika, Urvashi emphasized in an interview with the well-known news portal that it's a myth to assume her limited to that role alone.

The Kasautii Zindagi Kay actress said, “Where is the creativity of the producers and creative directors when they can’t think of me beyond that one role?” She went on to say that despite playing a variety of roles, this stereotyping has resulted in little acknowledgment of her current work during the previous few years. She regrets this in a way as well.

She mentioned that she keeps appearing and disappearing because she's waiting for more exciting opportunities. Doing the same thing repeatedly bores her, especially since she's been typecast so often. Urvashi Dholakia further stated, “It’s like saying Rekha ne Umraao Jaan kia toh bas that is it, that is the peak of everything. No, it doesn’t stop there!”

Discussing the challenges of breaking away from her Komolika image, she expressed gratitude for the continued popularity of Komolika memes and reels. She feels humbled that people still keep her character alive in today's era. She stated, “But, at the same time, I also want to be recognized for other roles that I have done.”

Urvashi Dholakia is hoping that people will embrace her in various roles. She thinks it's a fantastic start and is happy to have the opportunity to play a positive role. It feels like progress to be called by her character's name, Devi Singh Shikhavat. She would like to play more of these roles, but she won't do bad ones on television.

The actress also said, “There’s nothing more for me as an actor when it comes to playing a negative role now. Even if I take up one character, people will start comparing it with Komolika.”

Dholakia said that she feels restricted by a lack of opportunities when questioned about her interest in the digital medium. When the actress was called an overexposed TV personality last year, it disheartened her. Urvashi asked, “Which OTT platform has a show which does not have a TV face?’ So, why would you tell me that? Everyone is there then why I am I being treated differently?”

Urvashi Dholakia became well-known for her iconic performance of Komolika in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagi Kay. She won Bigg Boss 6 and then made an appearance on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, demonstrating her versatility.
