I want to do something sensible, not play a glam doll role : Urvashi Sharma

What was your husband’s reaction when you decided to start working again?

It was Sachiin who convinced me to take up the project. He is very supportive as a husband.

Do you consider your comeback as your second innings in the industry?

Yes. After being a mother and a housewife, it’s not easy to be accepted. It’s a challenge.

I chose this medium because women are given preference in television; besides, it is a medium that reaches out to everyone.

Have you ever gone to producers looking for work?

Never. I have been fortunate to get work easily. People have to struggle in Mumbai but I have never faced a hard time. The day I landed in Mumbai I had work; I was shooting for the Garnier brand. I did what I liked, like Naqaab and an adventure reality show, because I found it challenging.

I am lucky enough to be able to stay at home and fulfill all my wishes. I buy jewellery every second day. Honestly, my husband has given me all the luxuries and I thank him for that. I am blessed to have such a life.

How has marriage changed you?

After marriage, nothing changed. But after motherhood, a lot of things have changed.

Sachiin and I had a live-in relationship. I still live with the same man in the same house after my marriage so, that way, nothing has changed. But life has taken a 360-degree turn after my daughter was born.

During the first two-three months, I didn’t know what was happening with my life. I wondered how my mother managed her four kids. Things fell in place after a year.

Do you watch television?

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.

Would you do act in a film again?

I want to do something sensible, not just play a glam doll.

My daughter should see my work and say her mother has done good work.

Are you fine with kissing on screen?

No, I don’t think it’s needed. There are women who kiss on screen but I am not comfortable with it.

My husband does (kiss) in his films because he is comfortable with it.

How do you react watching those scenes?

I fight with him. I ask him what was the need to kiss? (laughs). He tells me before he shoots for such scenes.

What do you do in your leisure time?

I spend time with my family. I don’t party, booze or smoke.

For me, partying is a waste of time. I like to have a nice meal with my friends and family instead of dancing in a dark room.
