Like so many of her contemporaries Urmila too has succumbed to the power of the small screen. After her initial experience as a judge on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 2 the hot actress decided to make yet another appearance on TV. Though of course her critics would argue that she too uses this medium as her work in films is currently at an all-time low.
Nevertheless, the Bollywood babe sounds all upbeat as she's set to mark her debut as an anchor in Sony's reality show Waar Parrivar.

Tellychakkar caught up with the pretty actress at the launch of the musical show.

Why Waar Parrivar?
I had various offers for judging and even anchoring but I turned down most of them especially those in anchoring. To me anchoring takes a whole lot of time, energy and more commitment. I never thought I'll be a good anchor.

Music is something which we all can relate to. I'm lucky to have come from a family of classical singers. So, I do possess some knowledge of music. However, what compelled me to take this was that it has a mixture of music, family and of course Gajendra Singh.

You're critics feel that hosting may not be your forte. Do you agree?
Hosting is all about communicating, building a rapport between the audiences and you. I've been in this industry for long and have reaped success. I wouldn't have survived for so long if I wasn't able to communicate with the viewers. There must be something in me which appeals to them. Will I make a good host? Well, you'll just have to wait and watch.

Prachi Desai was irked after you said that Sandhya should have won Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa 2. Please comment.
Well, each one of us has the right to express their personal opinion. I said what I had to and there's no regret about it. However, Prachi wasn't all that disappointed as it was made out to be. In fact, Prachi's mother herself complimented me for my role.

What are you most comfortable with - hosting or anchoring?
I'm comfortable doing both. If you're positive about yourself then no task should be difficult.

You're venturing into hosting at a time, where you'll be competing with big guns of Bollywood like Shah Rukh and Salman. Are you apprehensive?
To agree to it is adopting a pessimistic approach towards life. I sincerely feel that there's an audience to each show. We should leave it to the viewers to decide as to what they want. Besides, everyone will do things that suits them the best.

We've seen Urmila as judge, now as a host. Aren't we far away from seeing Urmila compete in a reality show?
Well, that is a bit far fetched. At the moment, I'm only thinking about my current assignments.
