Urwa was reportedly offered a role alongside Bollywood’s leading actor Emraan Hashmi in his upcoming film Azhar. However, the actress refused to star in the film as her role required her to do bold scenes, which the actress wasn’t ready to do. However, Urwa also stated that she had declined to star in the movie due to her involvement in local productions, such as a film titled Jhol. Urwa had also stated that she was not going to cross the border and star in an Indian film just for the sake of it, but would opt for a movie that provides her with a ‘meaty’ role.
The twenty-three year old actress is becoming the most talked about actress in Pakistan not only on account of her drop-dead gorgeous looks but also due to her immense acting talent. The VJ-turned-actress starred in last year’s critically acclaimed Pakistani film Na Maloom Afraad alongside Javed Sheikh and Fahad Mustafa.
