She further encouraged her followers to embrace gratitude and positivity, saying, “Feel the gratitude and goodness that surround us. Be Grateful, Empathetic, Kind, and Positive at all times.”

Urmila, who began her film journey as a child artist in the 1977 movie Karm, rose to prominence with Masoom in 1983.
