Compromise.
That's
the
much
used
and
abused
word,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
entertainment
world.
More
so
when
this
world
happens
to
Bollywood.
A
compromise
could
be
presented
in
different
ways
and
forms.
It
could
be
monetary,
physical,
mental
or
even
psychological.
In
an
industry
where
glamour
sells,
any
form
of
compromise
becomes
even
more
visible,
pertinent
and
perhaps
even
a
bare
minimum
criterion
for
a
step
ahead
in
the
career.
Quite
a
few
aspiring
actors
may
fall
in
this
trap,
a
few
may
agree
to
tread
the
path
with
their
eyes
open,
some
may
remain
oblivious
to
this
while
a
select
few
may
dare
to
say
no.
Urvashi
Sharma
belongs
to
the
last
category.
The
story
doesn't
belong
to
the
primitive
times.
In
fact
it
dates
back
just
a
month
ago
when
things
had
actually
started
heating
up
for
better
in
Urvashi's
career.
A
couple
of
years
after
Abbas
Mustan
directed
Naqaab,
where
the
fair
lady
was
noticed
for
her
author
backed
role
and
performance,
she
went
onto
do
a
small
but
meaningful
role
in
hard
hitting
Baabarr.
She
made
her
presence
felt
and
as
she
awaited
big
banners
to
knock
on
her
doors,
she
soon
crossed
over
a
few
seas
to
see
a
British
project
landing
in
her
lap.
The
film
was
called
The
Bounty
Hunter
and
it
seemed
like
a
perfect
new
beginning
for
Urvashi
Sharma,
who
was
also
signed
by
Priyadarshan
for
a
couple
of
films
back
home.
She
went
gaga
over
the
prospects
of
doing
an
English
language
film
that
boasted
of
a
cast
from
across
the
continents.
A
big
league
pretty
much
seemed
to
be
in
the
offering
for
the
young
woman
who
till
then
was
enjoying
her
professional
standing
of
being
an
established
model
for
long
and
a
face
of
'hazaar'
commercials.
However,
this
proved
to
be
a
dream
that
wasn't
destined
to
be
fulfilled.
Just
when
she
was
about
to
sign
on
the
dotted
line,
she
was
informed
about
a
'core
requirement'
in
the
film's
narrative.
She
was
asked
to
do
a
nude
scene
for
the
film,
a
compromise
that
she
was
certainly
not
willing
to
make
for
any
movie,
whether
Bollywood,
British
or
Hollywood.
She
reasoned
with
the
makers
(Endboard
Productions)
and
argued
if
this
scene
was
really
that
crucial
for
her
to
enact
on
camera.
However,
the
production
people
and
director
Sunandan
Walia
had
their
own
take
on
affairs.
The
leading
lady
in
the
film
was
required
to
go
nude
and
there
were
no
second
thoughts.
The
situation
pretty
much
reached
a
roadblock
with
none
of
the
two
parties
willing
to
compromise.
Urvashi
Sharma,
with
her
Indian
ethics
intact,
was
quite
sure
that
she
wasn't
willing
to
give
in
to
the
situation,
regardless
of
the
project
promising
to
bring
her
up
to
an
international
platform.
On
the
other
hand,
Endboard
Productions
felt
that
Urvashi's
stand
was
unreasonable.
Also,
they
promised
that
the
shoot
would
be
done
aesthetically.
However,
Urvashi
being
a
newcomer
in
the
industry
was
of
course
apprehensive
about
the
entire
affair.
She
chose
to
steer
clear
from
this
film
without
regretting
her
decision
at
a
later
stage.
Even
if
this
meant
letting
go
off
a
plum
acting
opportunity
in
a
film
which
is
being
funded
by
U.K.
Film
Council,
she
was
unwilling
to
get
into
this
compromise
that
could
have
had
severe
repercussions
in
her
career.
After
a
period
of
ecstasy
followed
by
mental
turmoil,
she
finally
decided
to
let
the
project
go
away
once
for
and
all
and
instead
started
concentrating
on
her
Bollywood
career.
She
was
sure
that
after
all
the
appreciation
she
gained
from
Naqaab
and
Baabarr,
it
was
a
matter
of
time
before
filmmakers
started
taking
note
of
her
presence
in
the
industry.
This
may
perhaps
require
some
more
wait
but
at
least
that
would
be
on
her
terms
rather
than
someone
else's.
She
informed
Endboard
Productions
about
an
end
in
their
association
and
finally
heaved
a
sigh
of
relief.
"It
was
a
period
of
immense
mental
turmoil
since
I
had
earlier
made
up
my
mind
to
be
a
part
of
The
Bounty
Hunter.
It
seemed
like
a
good
career
decision
but
going
nude
for
a
role
was
never
a
part
of
my
agenda.
Skin
show
and
exposure
is
a
part
and
parcel
in
the
glamour
world
but
come
on,
there
is
a
limit
to
everything",
says
Urvashi
who
is
quite
clear
in
her
mind
about
where
to
draw
the
line.
Well,
regardless
of
a
The
Bounty
Hunter
or
the
lack
of
it
in
her
work
profile,
one
waits
to
see
the
beautiful
lady
come
back
into
action.
Who
knows,
there
may
be
many
more
tumbling
skeletons
as
Urvashi
turns
on
the
heat.
This
time
on
her
own
will
and
without
any
sense
of
compromise!
