Remember ‘Ek din teri baahon mei’ actress? Had a dream debut, worked with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, is unrecognisable now, her name is…

If you are a 90s kid, growing up, while getting ready for school, we had a few songs repeating on loop on our televisions. One of them was “Ek Din Teri Baahon Mein” featuring Urvashi Sharma along with Akshay Khanna.

Once a rising star with a memorable debut in Nakab (2007), she captured hearts with that romantic song and her confident on-screen presence.

Born on 13 July 1984 in Delhi, Urvashi came from a liberal Punjabi household and always made bold, personal choices — from entering modelling to living life on her terms.

What sparked her fame?
Before Bollywood, Urvashi was a familiar face in ads for Pond’s, Garnier, and more. She also starred in Atif Aslam’s hit music video “Doorii”, which became an instant chartbuster. Her performance in Nakab earned her a Filmfare Best Female Debut nomination. Later, she appeared in Khatta Meetha (2010) as Akshay Kumar’s younger sister — but that early spark slowly faded.

Did she try TV too?
Yes. In 2008, Urvashi was a finalist in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi, showcasing a tough, adventurous side. She returned to the screen in 2016 with Zee TV’s Amma, playing the lead, but the show didn’t click with audiences.

What about her personal life?
Urvashi dated actor-businessman Sachiin Joshi for two and a half years before tying the knot in 2012. Post-marriage, she changed her name to Raina Joshi. The couple now shares two children, and she’s kept a low profile ever since.

Where is she now?
Despite a short-lived film career, Urvashi’s authenticity, bold choices, and early success carved her a niche in the hearts of many. She now focuses on family life, having gracefully moved away from showbiz.
