Urvashi Rautela made her debut in the modelling industry when she was just 15 years old. The actor-turned-model has evidently earned a name for herself in the Hindi film industry with performances in films like Sanam Re and Great Grand Masti. The actor is also known for her dance moves as she has danced in many peppy tracks in commercial Hindi films. Here is Urvashi Rautela's journey as a model.
Journey as a model
At the age of 15, Urvashi earned her big break in the modelling world with the India Fashion Week. She won her first big title of Miss Teen India back in 2009. Her modelling career kickstarted from there. As a teen model, Urvashi participated in various beauty pageants like the Amazon, Dubai, and Mumbai Fashion Weeks respectively.
At the age of 17 itself, Urvashi had garnered many praises and titles in the modelling industry. She won prestigious titles like the Indian Princess, Miss Tourism World, and Miss Asian Supermodel back in 2011. It was also the year where she became the first Indian contestant to win the Miss Tourism Of The Year, where contestants from over 100 countries were participating.
As per reports, Urvashi was offered the film Ishaqzaade, but she turned it down in order to focus on the Miss Universe pageant. In 2012, she won the crown of I AM SHE - Miss Universe, but she had to be dethroned due to being underage. She was also seen shaking a leg at the beauty pageant's talent round. Urvashi went on to participate in the pageant again to emerge as the winner. Between 2012 to 2015, she made her debut in the Hindi film industry and worked her way to becoming a Bollywood star. Urvashi is evidently a successful model as she also won the title of Youngest Most Beautiful Woman In The Universe by the government and tourism board of Andaman & Nicobar in 2018. She will be next seen alongside John Abraham, Pulkit Samrat, Anil Kapoor and Arshad Warsi in the film Pagalpanti, which will release on November 22, 2019.
