Actress Urvashi Rautela, who made her Bollywood debut in 2013 with Singh Saab the Great, didn't see her debut getting a grand response as anticipated. Urvashi has been carving her own way into the industry. The actress went on to act in films like Sanam Re, Great Grand Masti and Pagalpanti. Her last outing was Virgin Bhanupriya, that saw a digital release.

In an exclusive interview to mid-day.com's Anjali Singh, Urvashi thanked the numerous beauty pageants awards that helped out in gaining opportunities. "Yes obviously. I remember, when I was prepping for Miss Universe, I was offered Yash Raj Films' Ishaqzaade opposite Arjun Kapoor. I had said no to it, as I wanted to concentrate on my beauty pageant. Even my debut film Singh Saab the Great, it just fell on my lap. So in a way, winning beauty pageants helped me a lot".
