We all know and love our favourite TV show villain Komolika who has carved a special space for herself in our hearts. This role is Urvashi Dholakia’s most iconic one and her fans always go back and watch her be the main character she was. But did you know the story about how she bagged this big role? During an exclusive chat with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, hosted by Siddhaarth Aalambayan, the actor opened up about how she got the role and sat three hours everyday to get ready!
Urvashi Dholakia On Bagging The Role Of Komolika
Urvashi Dholakia started by saying that she was first working on the show Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii when she got a call from Ekta Kapoor. She continued, “When I entered the room, she suddenly said, ‘Komolika’ so I got confused and I genuinely asked her what that word meant. She said, ‘That’s the name of your next character’ and then I learnt that that’s a name.” Dholakia said that Ekta Kapoor told her that she was going to be the next ‘s*x bomb’ on TV, to which she gave a black star.
Dholakia continued, “They told I would be a dusky beauty. But when I told that I wasn’t dusky, they said they would make me one. After that, I had a look test. I remember I was at the Balaji office, my makeup, hair, everything was done and I was parading up and down the floor wondering what Ekta was expecting. Only after that look test, I got to know what was going to happen. Then I asked how much longer would this go on, to which she said that this was going to be what my character was.”

Describing the shoot, Urvashi Dholakia made some shocking revelations. She said, “At the first day of shoot, I was so nervous sitting besides the director that I stared playing with my hair and then he asked me to actually do that in the show to project all of m nervousness there. Then it became a rage. My hair, makeup, and saree would take three hours, so I would always come early than other people on set.” But even though we like her now, the actor revealed that people dissed her saying she was too OTT with the makeup and acting.
