Holding back tears, Urvashi revealed that her mother, who is now confined to a wheelchair following a tragic accident, has remained her biggest source of strength. The Sanam Re actress shared, “My heart carries a profound story of resilience, inspired by the unwavering spirit of my beloved mother. Despite a tragic accident that confined her to a wheelchair, her love for me remains boundless, a radiant beacon of hope that pierces through life’s darkest moments.”

Rautela added, “With her words, she weaves a tapestry of wisdom, urging me to rise above negativity, to keep my eyes fixed on my dreams, and to embrace the beauty of life’s brighter hues. She reminds me that, as an outsider, I dared to chase my ambitions and turned them into reality—a testament to perseverance and courage. I’ve learned that scaling the peaks of success is not a single leap but a journey of relentless effort, practice, and fearless experimentation. Each step forward is a tribute to her teachings. My deepest wish is for her swift recovery, so we may once again embark on adventures together, hand in hand, as we did in the magical streets of Paris. Those cherished moments—blending work with the warmth of mother-daughter bonding—remain etched in my soul, fueling my longing to relive them soon.”

The actress went on to state, “With unwavering optimism and a heart full of gratitude, I look to the future, praying for her strength and our shared travels.

Together, we will conquer mountains and create memories that shine as brightly as the stars.”
