Apart from working in advertisements, Kavita Chaudhary made a name across the country for her portrayal of 'IPS Officer, Kalyani Singh' in the show, Udaan. She was so robust in her character that some people started assuming her for a real IPS officer. However, not everyone is aware of the fact that Kavita penned the script of Udaan, and it was inspired by her sister, Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya's life, who was an IPS officer. She was also the second IPS officer after Kiran Bedi.

We extend our deepest condolences to Kavita Chaudhary's family and loved ones.
