But fate did not allow her to rest so easily. Just a year and a half after her marriage, cracks appeared in her relationship, and Urvashi divorced at the age of 18. At that time, it was not easy to stand alone with two children at such a young age, but Urvashi never gave up.
'Komolika' Gave a New Identity

Urvashi's personal life was never easy, despite achieving success in her professional life. After the divorce, she took full responsibility on her own shoulders and raised her twin sons alone.
