New Delhi: Whenever one thinks about 90s TV serials vamps, Kamolika sure comes to mind. Urvashi Dholakia played the role and was one of the most popular stars of her time. The actress had a tough life personally but that never showed up professionally.

She was born to a Gujarati father and a Punjabi mother on July 9, 1978. The actress welcomed her twin sons at the age of 17 but unfortunately, had to raise them on her own. She raised both her boys as a single parent and how, she was and is truly an inspiration for all single parents as she worked really hard just to raise her kids.
