Urvashi
Dholakia
became
a
household
name
by
starring
as
Komolika
on
Kasautii
Zindagii
Kay.
However,
since
she
became
a
single
mother
to
her
twin
sons
Sagar
and
Kshitij
at
the
young
age
of
17,
the
actress
lost
out
on
seeing
her
kids
grow
up
due
to
professional
commitments.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
the
Bigg
Boss
6
winner
confessed
to
having
suffered
from
depression
when
she
decided
to
send
her
sons
to
boarding
school
when
they
were
just
eight
years
old.
Urvashi
said,
“Unfortunately,
that
is
something
that
did
come
to
my
mind
that
I
had
barely
been
able
to
give
them
any
time,
and
because
of
that,
I
had
to
send
them
to
the
boarding
school.
I
had
no
other
choice.
I
was
never
happy
with
the
decision
of
sending
them
away.
It
put
me
under
a
massive
depression
but
on
the
other
hand,
I
had
to
do
it
for
their
future,”
she
said.
She
went
on
to
add,
“I
did
not
see
them
grow
but
I
am
happy
that
I
gave
them
time
when
they
were
back.
I
had
to
restart
my
work
after
a
point
and
then
I
did
Bigg
Boss
and
that
was
the
only
time
I
was
away
from
them.
Then,
I
took
a
conscious
decision
of
not
wanting
to
work
because
I
decided
I
have
to
see
them
grow
because
I
couldn’t
see
them
grow
during
their
childhood.”
For
the
unversed,
Urvashi
began
her
career
at
a
child
star
in
Dekh
Bhai
Dekh.
She
then
went
on
to
be
a
part
of
shows
such
as
Shaktimaan
and
Ghar
Ek
Mandir.
This
was
followed
by
her
first
big
breakthrough
on
starring
as
the
parallel
lead
in
Ekta
Kapoor’s
Kabhi
Sauten
Kabhi
Saheli.
More
recently,
the
40-year-old
actress
took
part
in
Nach
Baliye
9
with
her
ex-boyfriend
Anuj
Sachdeva.
