Urmila Matondkar Biography
Shekhar Kapoor's Masoom, is more remembered for the great performances by the three kids who played Naseer and Shabana's reel children in the film.
One
of those three lively kids was Baby Urmila, an immaculate little
actress who delivered her dialogues with accuracy and knew the right
frames and angles of the camera. Shekhar, apparently did not have to
explain the shots too much to this little girl.
The sparks were
there, so when Urmila returned to films after she grew up, she did not
get scared to face the director and the camera. All that she needed was
good films to show to the world that she was a capable and glamorous
actress.
After a couple of inconsequential films came Ram Gopal
Verma as Urmila's saviour and Urmila never looked back since then.
Verma's Rangeela catapulted Urmila to the status of a glamour
queen. Her potential to dance and sex appeal discovered and displayed
by Verma in the film made Urmila an overnight star.
For those
who say that Urmila is at her best only when she is in a Verma film,
the actress has proved her worth in films outside the Verma camp like Judaai.
Urmila
Matondkar is undoubtedly a talented actress, but it is her great body,
glamorous look and dance that give the 'oomph girl' an edge in the
cutthroat world of films.
