Last
week
Urmila's
fashion
show
in
Karachi
with
Manish
Malhotra
was
a
resounding
success.
"I'm
no
stranger
to
fashion
shows.
But
this
was
my
first
fashion
show
outside
India.
We
decided
not
to
go
conventional.
We
decided
to
go
western
and
zany.
I
wore
a
Sawarski-studded
white
outfit
...
and
the
reaction
was
awesome.
The
whistles
and
screams
are
still
ringing
in
my
ears.
We
raised
quite
a
lot
of
money
for
charity."
Urmila has been to Pakistan several times. "Every time I go there I feel it to be an extremely heart-warming experience. The love and affection the Pakistanis shower make me wonder where the mythic enmity comes from."
It's been a hectic time for Urmila. She not only sang a song with Asha Bhosle, she also worked on another schedule of the long-delayed Speed.
As for her song with the Diva Urmila laughs, "I can't believe a bathroom singer like me actually dared to share singing space with Ashaji. Come on, this is a legend! I grew up singing her songs and dancing to them on stage. Suddenly here I was matching vocals with Ashaji. Meri himmat to dekho!!! "
"In fact I couldn't go to the Karachi film festival, although two of my films were shown. Urmila is no hurry to sign any new films. "I've reached a stage in my career where I don't really need to make any rushed decisions. I'm just taking it easy... at least till the year-end. I'll be taking off for an unknown destination for the New Year. Being in Mumbai and working is very boring for the new year."
