Urvashi undoubtedly got a dream debut for someone who didn't come from a film family. And at the time she did, she was also said to have signed a contract with Tips that prohibited her from working with any other production house.

However, things seemed to have come to a standstill for her as Tips went on and gave a super hit in the form of Race while she was left with no work. What went wrong there?

"All this just happened; I didn't do anything purposely," she says assertively almost like she desperately wants to clear the air.

"I had a contract with Tips and a lot of people thought I was not allowed to work outside, something like what is happening with Anushka Sharma today. Although Anushka's contract clearly states that she cannot work outside, my contract was flexible but everybody ended up thinking that I was with Tips only and I was too busy. That's the reason a lot of people didn't approach me. Some were even scared to approach other producers. It's a big ego thing you know. A lot of people have egos and they don't want to deal with other producers for a new girl. So, after my debut movie, I did just one Telugu film called Three. I agree I got a lot of appreciation for that but one year passed by and I realised that this was not working for me. I spoke to Kumarji and told him that they weren't good to me and I wasn't good for them. I asked him to set me free," she maintains.

Then, taking a breather, she continues. "In fact, the casting of Race was done much before Naqaab; it had nothing to do with me. Naqaab materialised when Abbas-Mustan's film with Sanjay Dutt stopped as he got trapped in all the court cases. They had two months of time on their hands and it was within those two months that Naqaab was made. In one week, I met the directors, designers and the next thing I knew was that the shooting had started."

But didn't she feel the need to ask the Tauranis for a reason as to why they weren't making a movie with her?

Hearing my question, she thinks for a few seconds before answering it. "I don't know what was there in their minds. But after a point, I realised that they either they didn't want to work with me or they were not comfortable working with me. So, I very honestly told Kumarji to leave me. I didn't ask them the reason, to be very honest. You know, I got a lot of appreciation for Naqaab and Three. My whole funda is that I know I am good so if they don't want to work with me that's their problem. There was no way I was going to go and ask them why they weren't working with me," she ponders and adds.

"There was no point in being in a contract that was not working for any of us so he agreed and now the contract has been called off. I am completely out of Tips now. I believe any contract is like a marriage; you have to be honest and work towards it. Even if one or two things go wrong, it doesn't work and I think that's what happened in my case so we amicably parted ways," says a relieved Urvashi.

She might not have done a movie in the past two years but she created quite a splash in first season of Akshay Kumar's reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Urvashi reveals why she took up the show. "After my contract with Tips was nullified, I wanted to be seen in a good manner. After doing Naqaab, I didn't want to be seen in a stupid film. So, I thought the show was a very different concept and I knew I would be the best on the show -- that's why I did it. I faced the camera after a year, which made me a little bit nervous and I hadn't done stunts like these before but my career was at stake and I knew I had to perform. If I hadn't performed, I knew my career would be finished so I gave in my best and it turned out to be good." 

Furthermore, it was also during Naqaab that Urvashi was linked to her on-screen lover, Akshaye Khanna. They were said to be having a torrid affair, which ended badly but Urvashi rubbishes this piece of news.

"The best part about these rumours is that no one ever saw me go for dinners with him, meet him or even go to his house for that matter. We hardly even met at social gatherings. You won't believe the last time I met him was before Naqaab released. It was for a promotional event, which was ironically the first and the last time we were seen in public together. It's been two years that I haven't met him now. I am in touch with him on and off. Once a month, I do call him or he calls me but that's it. We keep making plans to meet up but it's been two years and that's never happened," she smiles.
