Green-eyed Udita was born in Dehradun, India, in the Goswami family. Her parents are from the North-Eastern State of Assam. She comes from a very traditional and conservative family, and studied in Maa Anandmayi Memorial and D.A.V. Public schools until the 8th standard. Always wanting to be part of showbiz, she was not quite happy with her life in Dehradun. When she proposed to re-locate to Bombay, her parents initially opposed, but subsequently let her have her own way. Voluptuous, above average height, and sexy to boot, it was not long before her pictures were noticed by MTV. They approached her, and she subsequently became the winner of MTV Model Mission 2. She soon started modeling for Nokia, Star Movies, Pepsi, and Titan watches. She did her very first fashion feature photo-shoot with professional photographer Anand Seth. In 2003 Bollywood actress turned film-maker, Pooja Bhatt, offered her a role in 'Paap', which failed to make any impact at the box office, but did get stunningly beautiful Udita noticed, so much so that she got an offer to act in 'Zeher' - a movie that made her famous virtually overnight. She has subsequently appeared in 'Aksar'; has a special appearance in 'Dil Diya Hai'; has appeared in a music video by Ahmed Patel titled 'Kya Khoob Lagti Ho' opposite Upen Patel. She has also been involved in political awareness & has done a show for the 'Sick Kids Foundation'. She was award presenter in 2004 for the '49th Filmfare Award s'. Her appearance in 'The Man' produced by 'Dharmendra' co-starring Sunny Deol, originally scheduled for a 2009/2010 release, is on hold. This natural beauty, who is ranked amongst the 'Top 100 Beautiful Women', has taken it upon herself to review all offers that are coming her way and is also considering acting in commercial movies - if she likes the role.
