Interestingly, the 46-year-old actor is an avid social media user as she keeps her fans updated with her whereabouts. On December 15, which also marked the 70th death anniversary of India's "Iron Man" Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Urmila had shared a picture of him while paying a tribute. "May his undaunted spirit n strong will guide us in keeping this country bound together", an excerpt read from her tweet. Meanwhile, the photo of the late politician also read a quote of him in Hindi, which means, "My only desire is that India should be a good producer and no one should be hungry, shedding tears for food in the country".
As we all pay our own humble tribute to the great #IronMan of our country, let’s remember all that he stood for n taught us. May his undaunted spirit n strong will guide us in keeping this country bound together with its democratic values 🇮🇳 #SardarVallabhbhaiPatel 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/0F0KQsSDu6

Apart from this, most of the recent tweets of the Judaai actor are about the on-going farmers' protest. In fact, she has pinned one of her tweet, which was shared on December 11. The photo-tweet read a Hindi caption, which means "if the farmers are happy then the nation is happy too". The photo of her tweet is a sketch, featuring a farmer along with a plough.
