Urvashi Dholakia returns with ‘Apno Ke Liye Geeta…’

Actress Urvashi Dholakia is returning to the small screen with yet another negative role in Zee TV’s upcoming show “Apno Ke Liye Geeta Ka Dharma Yudha”.

She will be seen playing Malini Yadav, a socialite, who has not achieved much in life but is very ambitious and will leave no stone unturned to bring about a change in her lifestyle.
