Did you know having braces was both a boon and bane for Urvi Singh?
In a 2022 interview with Hindustan Times, the 22-year-old shared that she put on braces during her initial phase of auditions to correct her teeth as they were hindering the opportunities coming her way. However, it was the same look that got her the character of Meenal Parekh in Kota Factory.
“During Kota… auditions, they were looking for a simple and studious girl. My braces and zero-power specs that I had bought style marne ke liye, perfectly suited my character and I bagged the role of Meenal that gave me an identity in the industry,” Urvi had admitted back then.
She further revealed that due to being a part of a season-based show, people know her by her character’s name but getting offered similar kinds of student roles is a bit of a disadvantage.
