Urvashi Dholakia reveals how some people in industry took advantage of her ‘vulnerable’ situation after divorce and two kids

The actor revealed that she knew her former husband for almost one and a half years before marriage. She continued, “I was like I don’t want to work now, I want a Cinderella life now. But then the bubble burst, though I didn’t let it get to me. I was married at 16, had twins at 17 and got divorced at 18.”

Asked what led to the divorce, Urvashi shared, “He didn’t want the responsibility and fell out of love, but why would I have abandoned the two kids? If I had to do that, I would have not given birth to them.”

At this difficult juncture of her life, Urvashi found support in her parents. “Nobody supports you in your time of need more than your parents.” She got back to work at 19 as she had to look after her kids and not be a “burden” on her parents. But finding work again was not easy for her as people took “advantage” of her ‘vulnerable’ situation and paid her less than what she deserved. Still, the actor took up work and once again found her footing in the industry.

Urvashi also revealed that since her divorce, she has never spoken to her former husband. Also, her sons, Kshitij Dholakia and Sagar Dholakia, have never met their father. “They also don’t want to know about him. We have tried to make them know about him, but they have always said, ‘We don’t want to know.'”

The actor has spent 38 years in the industry. She has starred in shows like Dekh Bhai Dekh, Ghar Ek Mandir, Kabhii Sautan Kabhi Saheli, Mehendi Tere Naam Ki, and Kahin Toh Hoga, among others. Urvashi also won the sixth season of the TV reality show Bigg Boss. She was last seen in the supernatural drama Naagin 6.
