Im Shooting with Govinda & Sunil Shetty - Urvashi Sharma

Urvashi Sharma was born and brought up in Delhi and started modelling at the age of sixteen. She comes from very humble beginnings and it is her guts, perseverence and immense talent which are totally responsible for her success today. Urvashi has always been one the most sought after faces in the advertising world but within a very short span of moving to Mumbai she also managed to sign up an eight movie deal with the prestigious film production house, Tips. Under this agreement Urvashi will do a guaranteed 8 films under the Tips banner and will also be promoted to other banners for their projects. Urvashi made her film debut in 2007 with Tips Films' romantic thriller "Naqaab, directed by Abbas Mastan. This dream role, which revolved around the female protagonist (Urvashi), starred two popular heros of Indian cinema - Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol. Urvashi's performance was applauded by all.
Some of the great campaigns that Urvashi can be seen in are: Ponds, Garnier, TBZ, Globus and Red Tape. She has also featured in two music videos - "Say Something, Something.." with Mika and as the hearbroken young girl in the Atif Aslam song "Doorie". Urvashi surprised everyone during the shooting of Naqaab in Dubai when she insisted on performing her own stunts despite a body double being present. She is a fitness freak and loves her Yoga sessions everyday.Recently, she wowed the country with her fearlessness on ‘Fear Factor Extreme : Khatron Ke Khiladi’. Leaping off buildings, battling sub- zero temperatures and surviving through dog attcks – these were a few of the challenges she had to overcome en route to finally being declared the first runner up on the show. Her grit and determination made her win the maximum number of ‘safety bands’ on the show. Urvashi has recently been signed up by Bajaj Almond Drops as the brand ambassador. Currently, she is shooting for ‘Chai Garam’ with Govinda and Sunil Shetty.
