Although her film career was short-lived, Urvashi transitioned to television and reality shows. She was a finalist in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi (2008) and later starred in the Zee TV series Amma in 2016.

Known for her outspoken nature and independent spirit, Urvashi has never shied away from making bold life choices.
