Urvashi has revealed in the past that sending her sons to a boarding school after her divorce at the age of 18, was one of the hardest decisions in her life. However, she was encouraged by her mum to send her kids away so they can grow up with discipline since she could not spend much time with them.
Urvashi shared, "It was difficult. Mujhe eventually unko boarding school bhejna pada tha. Wo meri maa ka decision tha, mera nahi tha… The lesson I learned from her is, she told me (for all single mothers)... un logo ko apne paas rakhke indisciplined life dene se better hai ki unko hostel mein daal, unko disciplined life milegi. You will never be able to give them time, they will get indisciplined. Grandparents kab tak karenge, Because they are also ageing. So, that I agree with.”
