Urvashi Upadhyay's emotional exit from Mangal Lakshmi

Actress Urvashi Upadhyay has concluded her two-and-a-half-year journey on the show Mangal Lakshmi, where she played the character Kusum. Reflecting on the series' end, Upadhyay acknowledged the inevitability of beginnings having endings, describing a moment of stillness upon reading the final script. She cherished the role of Kusum, a compassionate matriarch, which offered a departure from the predominantly negative characters she had previously portrayed. This opportunity allowed her to demonstrate versatility, a compliment she deeply values.

Upadhyay shared humorous anecdotes from the set, recalling how her character's slaps earned her the playful moniker 'Kantaab Queen,' with co-stars joking about receiving one before the show wrapped. With Mangal Lakshmi concluding, Upadhyay intends to utilize this transition period for personal growth. Her priorities include supporting her son, who is in Class 10, focusing on her health through yoga and walks, and resuming her PhD studies. Despite being a self-proclaimed workaholic, she aims to unlearn her character to prepare for future challenging roles.
