“Boss ko bolo biwi bula rahi hai” everyone would have heard this line in a recent television commercial of a popular telecom company airtel. It shows just a day in the lives of a couple in which the wife is also the professional boss and how easily she slips into the role of a wife when she gets home. This commercial gained quite a lot of controversies, it was also deemed as sexist by some. But the girl which acted as the wife/boss is Madhurima Tuli. And not many people would know that she is a Doonite!
She has been in the movie for quite long now. She first faced camera in 2004 when she was casted opposite Sai Kiran in a Telugu movie titled Saththaa.

She has been a model and worked in several advertisements such as Godrej, Fiama Di Wills and Karbonn Mobiles. Later in 2007 she also did a cameo in a Star Plus soap opera titled as Kasturi.
A lesser known fact about Madhurima is that she was a state level athlete and an avid cricketer. She had an interest in sports but once so happened that while going for an outstation cricket match she missed the train and instead went for the auditions of Miss Uttarakhand. Just a casual audition lead her to the top of the podium. It seems that universe had different plans for this multi-talented beauty.
Madhurima had done cameos in many TV shows such as Shree, Jhansi Ki Rani, Rang Badalti Odhni until she bagged the role in Kaalo, directed by Wilson Louis this movie went on to win best feature film and best cinematography award in 6th Annual South African Halloween Horror Festival held in Cape Town.
