Urvashi Dholakia's mom reveals why she doubted her Bigg Boss win: ‘I used to sit and cry after seeing her anger'
Bollywood filmmaker Farah Khan continues to entertain fans with her cooking vlogs, where she prepares various dishes alongside celebrities. Recently, she visited television actor Urvashi Dholakia's home, where she also interacted with Urvashi's mother. During their chat, her mother reminisced about Urvashi's Bigg Boss journey and revealed she had doubts about her daughter winning the show. (Also Read: Urvashi Dholakia says she does not 'even acknowledge' audition calls for negative roles: 'I still struggle to get work') When Farah asked about Urvashi's worst quality, her mother candidly replied that she has a lot of anger. She further admitted being uncertain about Urvashi's chances of winning Bigg Boss, believing she had only a 50-50 chance. Explaining her concerns, she said, 'Kyunki yeh gussa itna kar rahi thi, ladaiyan bohot hui thi toh isliye darr tha. Iska gussa dekh ke main roti thi yahan baith ke' (Because she used to get so angry, there were many fights, so I was scared. I used to cry sitting here after seeing her anger). Defending herself, Urvashi said she barely fought in the Bigg Boss house, adding, 'Sab log mujhe card bhejte the jab Diwali ya koi festival hota tha, and upar likhte the 'Om Shanti Om' aur bolte ki yeh humara code tha to ask you to calm down' (Everyone used to send me cards during Diwali or other festivals, and they would write 'Om Shanti Om' on top—saying it was their secret code to tell me to calm down). For the unversed, Urvashi participated in Bigg Boss Season 6 and won the audience over with her strong personality. She emerged as the season's winner, beating Imam Siddiqui, Sana Khan, and Niketan Madhok. Urvashi is a well-known television actor, best remembered for playing the iconic role of Komolika in the long-running TV series Kasautii Zindagii Kay. She made her acting debut at the age of six in a Lux soap commercial with Revathi. As a child artiste, she appeared as Rajlaxmi in the Doordarshan TV series Shrikant. She rose to fame with roles in Ektaa Kapoor's popular shows such as Ghar Ek Mandir, Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Kahiin To Hoga. Most recently, she was seen in the show Power of Paanch, alongside Riva Arora, Jaiveer Juneja, Aditya Arora, Anubha Arora, Bianca Arora, Yash Sehgal, and Barkha Bisht. The show premiered on January 17 on Disney+ Hotstar and concluded on April 4.

Ex-NITI Aayog official slams Air India over damaged business-class seat: ‘Hope the rest of the plane is working'
A former director at NITI Aayog recently took to social media to voice her displeasure with Air India after a disappointing business-class experience. Posting two images from her Air India AI2996 flight, Urvashi Prasad highlighted a visibly damaged business class seat – a panel had come off. Alongside the pictures, she wrote, 'Broken seats in business class in Air India flight AI 2996 Bombay to Delhi … can only hope the rest of the plane is working.' Check out the post: Broken seats in business class in @airindia flight AI2996 Bombay to only hope the rest of the plane is working.. — Urvashi Prasad (@urvashi01) April 27, 2025 The post caught the airline's attention. Responding publicly, Air India said, 'Dear Ms Prasad, we're concerned to note this. Your feedback is important to us, and we'll make sure it gets addressed promptly.' This isn't an isolated incident. In recent months, Air India has faced a steady stream of complaints – from everyday travellers to celebrities – many of whom have taken to social media to share their frustrations. Television actor Urvashi Dholakia, known for winning Bigg Boss Season 6, recently criticised the airline after her checked baggage was damaged on a flight from London to Mumbai. She had paid extra charges for the luggage and, in a video post, demanded a refund for what she called mishandling by the airline. Tensions also boiled over at Delhi airport just days ago when a delayed Air India flight to Mumbai left passengers stranded. A passenger, apparently enraged by the delay, slapped a member of the airline's staff. While Air India has said it is working to address service issues, it has also appealed to the media to avoid damaging the airline's image without confirming the facts.
