Urvashi Rautela on Misconceptions: I Stopped Over-Explaining

One of Bollywood's most misunderstood actresses, Urvashi Rautela, who often raises eyebrows with her bold claims, has opened up about misconceptions surrounding her. She stated that she has stopped trying to over-explain herself and would rather let time reveal who she truly is.

When asked about a misconception she has stopped trying to correct, Urvashi told IANS, "I think people sometimes mistake ambition for superficiality, especially when a woman is very visible in the public space." She added, "There's often an assumption that if someone embraces glamour or enjoys fashion, they can't also be deeply focused, disciplined, or intellectually driven."

The 32-year-old actress admitted that previously she felt the need to prove herself. "Earlier, I used to feel the need to prove that I'm much more than the image people see. But now I've understood that you cannot build your life around constantly correcting perceptions," said the actress, who is set to reprise her character in the second season of 'Inspector Avinash'.

She concluded, "The people who genuinely follow your journey eventually understand your substance through your work, your resilience, and your consistency. So I've stopped trying to over-explain myself. I'd rather keep evolving and let time reveal who I truly am."
