'As long as I don't look cheap, I am open to skin show'

Clearly, a relationship might be a burden for her at present but what's the harm in casual dating?

"I don't believe in dating," she answers. "I am not that kind of a girl who'll date somebody for some time and see how it is. I'll start a relationship if I am comfortable with the person and his family. I'll accept the person for whatever he is; I'll accept his plus and minus points. Nobody's perfect and I certainly am not perfect. So if he's ready to accept me the way I am, I will do the same."

In that case, how would Urvashi react if her boyfriend were to ask her to shed this sexy image? Would she dump him or would she dump the image?

"I would rather dump him because I have worked very hard to reach where I have today and he hasn't helped me out at all," she says strongly opinionated on that one.

"He came into my life much later so he's nobody to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. It's my career. I have worked hard towards it. I am not going to make any compromises as far as my work is concerned. I would expect him to understand. Who the hell would he be to tell me what to do and what not to? If I'll ask a guy to discontinue something, do you think he'll ever do it?"

Urvashi has always looked extremely comfortable in her own skin. She'd rather wear skimpy clothes and be brazen about her body. Was she always like that?

"As long as I don't look cheap, I am open to skin show. Even if I am wearing a swimsuit, it should look sexy; it shouldn't look vulgar. My whole point is to look good whether it's sensual, sexy or glamorous. Nobody should say I am looking bad.  I have been like that since always because I know I can carry it off. I am comfortable in this kind of skin show because I know I look good in it. In fact I look good in everything I wear," she giggles.

The fact remains that she is being regarded as one of the sexiest new girls in the industry. How does that make her feel?

"I've never been called a sex symbol before; people have only called me very pretty and beautiful. I sometimes have a doubt about that because people tell me I look classy, elegant, and pretty but not hot. So, it gets me thinking that maybe I'm not hot," she laughs.

But, being such a hot woman, she must have got a lot of propositions from men of all kinds -- the industry is full of them. Urvashi lets out a secret, "I remember this one bad proposition I got once. I went to a party and a guy was telling me how he went to jail and how depressed he was. He was trying to gain sympathy by telling me about his drug habit and how he was disowned by his parents. Listening to all that, I really didn't know how to react because he was talking like this to me at our first meeting when in fact he should have told me all the good things about him and not the bad. But I guess he was one of those guys who have this misconception that girls like only bad boys. I think he was too drunk or doped because that was a very stupid move to make on a first meeting."

Urvashi is also of the opinion that men always have sex on their minds and that rankles her no end.

"I think when a man is looking at a woman all he is thinking about is sex. At least most of them are. You can see it in their eyes. Of course I have encountered it. When they look at you, they are stripping you completely. There are some men who are so cheap and irritating that when they look at you while they are sitting, they'll start shaking their legs. It's disgusting. What's on their mind is on their faces and you can make out," she states wincingly.

With a hot new look, Urvashi now also has some prime projects in her kitty. "I am doing a film with Sanjay Dutt, Suneil Shetty, Vinod Khanna and Shabana Azmi called Mukti. Then there's Chai Garam, which has Suneil Shetty and Govinda. Then there is this slightly offbeat film I am doing with a new boy and Revathy's film with Raveena Tandon, Ayesha Takia and Jaya Bachchan. There is quite a lot of work, touchwood," she says.   

To sum it up, what are the limits she has set for herself?

"Nobody can predict or decide where they want to reach in a time period. I know that I want to be more successful, more experienced and have more money but I don't know how it will work out. I had never thought that after Naqaab, I would have to sit at home for one year but it happened. I was appreciated so much in the film. If you read the reviews, all of them said that I was the best thing about the film. Kumarji kept telling me that he is starting a film and he didn't let me do anything. But anyway, all that's in the past now. At present, I am just hoping for the best and putting in my best," she ends with a smile.

Even as she leaves the location clad in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, Urvashi is still making heads turn. This is a new beginning for her -- and it's already taken such a scintillating start.
