From being the bubbly girl in Rangeela to a film star in Mast, from a psycho lover in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya to her recent appearance in the song "Bewafa beauty" – Urmila Matondkar has never failed to prove three strong elements as an actor in her career – power of acting, unmatched dancing skill and image of being desirable. The actor says as a woman, she always finds the tough but right chord to be seductive and not vulgar as the line is very thin.
"Being seductive is a part of womanhood and if a woman feels it strongly as a part of her personality, it is never represented in a wrong way. There is a very thin line between being seductive and vulgar, but it comes from the performer. I think I never fell in the grey area or went over the top because I am a strong-headed actor and I feel seductive as a woman. So whatever bold dance that I performed on-screen, it never looked vulgar," said Urmila. While objectifying women in an 'item song' has been common practice in most of the mainstream Bollywood films, it is very interesting how Urmila's last released song "Bewafa beauty" from the film Blackmail, teases the intellect of a man in the film. "Wasn't that fun to watch?" Urmila laughed out loud.
"Lyrically and contextually, the song is very interestingly put out and I liked that part. Having said that it was not my conscious decision to be a part of this song, but I was just trying out something very different that has not happened in the recent past," said the actor. Asked if people are becoming over critical and bully actors, Urmila said: "Yes, that is happening. But in the era of social media, when we are putting out our videos, photos for promotional purpose and giving our audience a chance to share their opinion, we should expect both good and bad."
