Virgoan Udita was born in Dehra Dun, India on September 2,
1984. Her parents are from the North-Eastern State of
Assam. Dehra Dun is the capital of Uttarkhand, nestled in
the foothills of the Himalayas. She comes from a very
traditional and conservative family, and studied in D.A.V.
Public School until the 8th standard.
Always wanting to be part of showbiz, she was not quite
happy with her life in Dehra Dun. When she proposed to
leave town for Bombay, her parents initially opposed, but
subsequently let her have her own way.
She soon started modeling for Nokia, Star Movies, Pepsi
and Titan watches.
In 2003 Bollywood actress turned film-maker, Pooja Bhatt
offered her a role in Paap, which failed to make any
impact at the box office, but did get stunningly beautiful
Udita noticed, so much so that she got an offer to act in
Zeher - a movie that made her famous virtually overnight.
She has subsequently appeared in Aksar; has a special
appearance in Dil Diya Hai; has appeared in a music video
by Ahmed Patel titled 'Kya Khoob Lagti Ho' opposite Upen
Patel.
She has also been involved in political awareness & has
done a show for the Sick Kids Foundation. She was award
presenter in 2004 for the 49th Filmfare Awards in 2003.
Udita is currently reviewing all offers that are coming
her way and is open to acting in commercial movies - if
she likes the role.
Is a model turned actress.
Personal Quotes
"One never knows what destiny has in store. I always knew
I wanted to be in the glamour industry. I did well as a
model and now I hope all works for me as an actress".
About her debut film Paap (2004): "I didn't want to make a
debut in a film seeing which the audience would say, 'Oh,
just another model, who's come and gone.' I needed people
to sit up and take notice of me." |
