TV star Urvashi Dholakia talks about being married at 16, welcoming twins at 17, divorced at 18

Urvashi Dholakia, who rose to fame for her popular role of Kamolika in the Indian daily soap Kasauti Zindagi Kay, recently spoke about getting married at a young age of 16 and divorced at 18. In less than two years of her marriage, the actress welcomed her twins.

Urvashi married the love of her life at 16

Urvashi Rautela recently in a chat with YouTuber Sidharth Kannan revealed how she married the love of her life at the age of 16, welcomed her twin sons at 17 and filed for a divorce at 18, having her idea of a cinderella life crushed all at once. She also talked about how her sons never asked her for their father, neither her ex-husband ever tried to contact them.

Talking to Kannan, Urvashi told, "I was madly in love. Also, at that time, as a woman, the constitution of marriage was instilled in you. My mother came from a conservative mindset and she was clear, ‘Be independent, but you should get married.’ Society was like that at that time. I was 16 and was not mature enough."

In the same conversation, the TV star revealed that she knew her former husband for over a year and a hald before marriage and had decided to get married and stop working. She said, "I was like I don’t want to work now, I want a Cinderella life now. But then the bubble burst, though I didn’t let it get to me. I was married at 16, had twins at 17 and got divorced at 18.”

What led to Urvashi's divorce?

The actress revealed that her former husband didn't want the responsibility and soon fell out of love. She said, "He didn’t want the responsibility and fell out of love, but why would I have abandoned the two kids? If I had to do that, I would have not given birth to them.”

The actress further revealed that at that situation the only people who came for her rescue were her parents. At 19, the actress got back to working as she had to look after her kids and not be a burden on her parents. Talking about the struggles of bouncing back at work, Urvashi revealed people took advantage of her vulnerable situation and paid her less than what she deserved.

Urvashi's sons have never met their father

The actress in the same interview revealed how after her divorce she never contacted her husband, neither her sons Kshitij Dholakia and Sagar Dholakia met their father. According to the actress, her sons don't want to meet their father, despite her trying to let them know about him.
