Urvashi will be seen as the wife of Randeep Hooda’s character in the web series, Inspector Avinash. The thriller series is based on real events in the life of police officer Avinash Mishra.

“I play Poonam Mishra, wife of Randeep Hooda’s character. Biopics are a great challenge for actors — instead of creating a character from nothing, they have to portray a version of a real person on screen,” Urvashi said.

“Bringing someone else’s story to life is a big responsibility, but one that also helps a real life person’s story be told,” she added.

Talking about her preparation for the role, she said: “To get into the skin of the character, I have been hanging out with Poonam Mishra. I’ve been trying my level best to get as close to her personality and mannerisms as possible.”

“I’m wearing the same kind of bangles and sarees of her liking, basically trying to soak up the character to the best of my ability! I’m truly honoured to be playing her in the series because she, in my eyes, is the epitome of strength and courage. She has been a strong pillar of support to Avinash Mishra,” she added.

The web series also features Mahesh Manjrekar, Rajneesh Duggal, Freddy Daruwala, Govind Namdev, Adhyayan Suman, Amit Sial, Priyanka Bose and Abhimanyu Singh.

“Ageing is a process we have absolutely no control over. But, stereotyping what you can and cannot do just because you have crossed a certain age is something I don’t believe in,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.

She added: “The years add a lot of wear & tear to the bones, nerves, & muscles; but, consistently taking care of ourselves is important. Follow just three simple rules:

1. Eat right

2. Exercise regularly

3. Smile and laugh more often

The body may have reached a certain age, but if you are young at heart then the world is your oyster.”

The actress also shared a video that captures her jumping on a trampoline with son Viaan. The video has a message that reads: “Aging is inevitable, but how you want to age is a choice.”

She shared the post with hashtags: #ShilpaKaMantra, #SwasthRahoMastRaho, #ExerciseWell, #EatClean, #SmileMore, #StayHappy, #YoungAtHeart and #AgeIsJustANumber.

On the work front, Shilpa is all set to return to the screen after 13 years with two releases, “Hungama 2” and “Nikamma”.

Directed by Sabbir Khan, the action-packed romantic comedy film “Nikamma” also features Abhimanyu Dasani and Shirley Setia. “Hungama 2” also stars Paresh Rawal, Pranitha Subhash and Meezan. The film is a follow-up of Priyadarshan’s 2003 slapstick hit, “Hungama”.
