Urvashi
Sharma,
the
leading
lady
of
the
to-be-released
film
Naqaab,
has
been
signed
for
an
eight-film
contract
with
TIPS
Films,
who
is
also
producing
Naqaab.
Tips,
in
the
past
has
launched
potent
actors
such
as
Preity
Zinta,
Shahid
Kapur
and
Amrita
Rao,
and
are
once
more
launching
another
stunner
in
looks
and
performance
-
Urvashi
Sharma.
Like
most
A-list
heroines
in
Bollywood,
Urvashi
too
started
her
career
as
a
model.
Having
been
the
face
of
Ponds,
TBZ
and
Garnier,
Urvashi
soon
conquered
the
modeling
circuit
by
her
sheer
beauty,
grace
and
professionalism.
With
striking
features
and
poise
she
rapidly
made
her
way
into
Bollywood
and
bagged
an
eight-film
contract
with
Tips
Films.
Naqaab,
directed
by
masters
of
the
thriller
genre
Abbas-Mustan,
being
her
very
first
film,
Urvashi
exudes
terrific
screen
presence,
which
is,
clearly
noticed
in
the
promos.
Even
though
she
is
portraying
a
fundamental
character
in
this
thriller,
she
has
maintained
a
very
low
profile
in
media.
She
has
refrained
from
giving
any
interviews
or
photo
ops
to
media
prior
the
release
of
her
debut,
while
most
newcomers
today
are
exposed
way
too
much
before
the
release
of
their
debut.
So
why
is
Urvashi
Sharma
who
should
be
grabbing
utmost
media
coverage
right
now
kept
under
wraps?
Ramesh
Taurani,
head
honcho
of
Tips
Music
justifies
this
as
a
part
of
a
strategy
thought
through
by
them.
He
explains
that,
'Urvashi's
character
is
integral
to
the
central
plot
of
the
film,
and
by
far
we
have
kept
her
under
wraps.
We
want
the
audience
to
judge
her
performance
unbiased.'
Today
the
audience
is
bombarded
with
new
actors
almost
every
Friday;
Urvashi
is
very
much
in
this
race
of
Bollywood
but
is
here
to
prove
her
worth
only
through
her
acting
prowess.
She
has
not
only
made
an
impact
on
the
producers,
but
as
a
newcomer
has
also
made
a
tremendous
impact
on
her
co-stars,
Bobby
Deol
and
Akshaye
Khanna.
The
mystery
revolves
around
Urvashi,
although
this
character
would
have
demanded
a
seasoned
actor,
Akshaye
Khanna
defends
that,
Naqaab
needed
a
girl
with
no
image
and
Urvashi
is
the
perfect
find,
her
face
and
body
language
suits
the
part.'
Bobby
Deol
concludes
by
saying
that,
'It
was
a
pleasure
working
with
Urvashi
and
for
a
newcomer
she
is
supremely
confident
and
professional.'
The
coming
year
will
witness
a
lot
of
model-turned
actors,
but
only
time
will
tell
whose
worthy
of
accolades.
We
certainly
see
the
spark
in
Urvashi
and
from
the
promos
of
Naqaab,
she
ain't
that
far
from
super
stardom!
