Urvashi Dholakia, known for her iconic role as Komolika in the hit TV show Kasautii Zindagi Kay, is eager to shed her image as a negative character and showcase her versatility as an actor. Despite appearing in various shows such as Chandrakanta, Ishq Mein Marjawan, Tu Aashiqui, and Naagin 6, Dholakia feels frustrated that she is still predominantly recognized as Komolika even after 15 years.
The talented actress is determined to break free from the typecasting that has limited her opportunities and wants producers and directors to see her beyond just one role. She believes that her diverse acting skills have not received the attention they deserve due to the lasting impact of Komolika on audiences.
After portraying the memorable character, Dholakia deliberately chose to participate in Comedy Circus to challenge the audience’s perception of her. Despite the enduring popularity of Komolika memes and reels, she yearns for recognition for her other roles and talents.
Currently appearing in the TV show Pushpa Impossible as a lawyer, Dholakia is excited to explore positive characters and hopes to continue challenging herself with diverse roles. She is determined not to take on any more negative roles on television, as she believes she has already raised the bar with her portrayal of Komolika.
While the digital medium interests her, Dholakia admits that the lack of exciting opportunities and the perception of being an “overexposed TV face” have discouraged her from venturing into OTT platforms. She feels that producers are not considering her for unique projects, and she is eager for the industry to see her in a new light.
As she strives to carve a new path in her career, Urvashi Dholakia remains optimistic about her future in the entertainment industry. With her talent and determination, she is ready to break free from stereotypes and establish herself as a versatile and respected actor in the industry.
