In an interview with Pinkvilla, Urvashi Dholakia spoke about her struggle of being a single mother.?

"The picture was very different 24-25 years ago. The societal pressure, the taboo of being a single mother was obviously there but it did not bother me.

Some people said behind my back, some were brutal and said it on my face, and made very personal attacks. But, if I let all this affect me, I wouldn't be where I am.? I had no choice but to ignore all of them," Urvashi shared.??
