It was a time when casting directors used to scratch their heads for months, as there were too many brilliant actresses, who didn't fear to experiment. From 2001 to 2010, we saw actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Kangana Ranaut, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, and Genelia D'Souza making their acting debut in Bollywood.
With so many actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Kajol, Tabu and many others already dominating the screen space, the emergence of all the above-mentioned beauties took the talent graph of Bollywood to a whole new level.

Udita revealed that she participated in a series of fashion events and even sent some of her pictures to MTV's Model Mission Contest.
Courtesy of her beauty and the perfection in her ramp walks, Udita Goswami was selected by MTV, and she eventually won the competition. It was a major milestone for her as she started receiving a lot of projects in the modelling industry.

After Zeher and Aksar, she appeared in films like Dil Diya Hai, Aggar, Kisse Pyaar Karoon, Fox, Chase, Apartment, Rokkk, Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai, and Diary of a Butterfly.
