Urvashi Rautela On Miss Universe
Reflecting on her Miss Universe experience, Urvashi explained that the level of preparation required was as intense as that of an athlete. “You have to control what you eat, be very disciplined with exercises, and master various types of runway walks,” she shared. It was a rigorous routine, and she had to fully commit to it, even if it meant passing on a major Bollywood opportunity.
Ishaqzaade, which eventually launched Parineeti Chopra’s career in 2012, could have been Urvashi’s big break. However, she remained focused on her lifelong goal of representing India on an international stage. Urvashi explained that, unlike many other actresses who use beauty pageants as a stepping stone into Bollywood, her primary focus had always been Miss Universe. Preparing for the pageant took precedence over everything else, even Bollywood.
