Speaking about her viral videos on Tik Tok Urvashi elbaorates, “It was my son Ksitij who insisted that I join the platform.  He knew that I love humor and yes it’s truly become ‘our thing’.  We are having fun, laughing and making others laugh, what better way to celebrate life!  Many people have been saying that they love the rapport Ksitij and I have and calling me the ‘Gen X’ Mom.  But honestly I don’t know any other way….The industry has evolved so much and while I love what television has given me but we have to move ahead with the times!  Digital, web, social media and CONTENT has taken over.”
Ask her about whether her sons would want to pursue acting and she reveals, “Oh yes, they would love to act.  They have already trained behind the camera and will soon be facing the camera as well.  But it has to be with the right kind of work and on a path they’ve chosen for themselves!”
