Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar has reportedly separated from her husband, Kashmiri businessman and model Mohsin Akhtar Mir, and is ending their eight-year marriage.
The 50-year-old actress has filed for divorce in a Mumbai court, as confirmed by legal sources. While the specific reasons for the split have not been made public, it appears the decision was not mutual. An insider revealed that Urmila initiated the divorce proceedings about four months ago.
According to Indian media reports, the insider stated, “After careful consideration, Urmila has decided to end her marriage with Mohsin. She has already filed for divorce in court. While the reasons for the separation are still unclear, it isn’t happening on mutual terms.”
Urmila has also unfollowed Mohsin on social media, although he continues to follow her. The last post she shared featuring him was on June 23, when she wished her followers peace and compassion for Eid.
The couple, who have a 10-year age difference, married in a private ceremony at Urmila’s Mumbai residence in 2016, attended only by close friends and family, including fashion designer Manish Malhotra.
Urmila ventured into politics in 2019 with the Indian National Congress, later switching to Shiv Sena in 2020. Her last film appearance was in the 2018 movie Blackmail, where she featured in the song “Bewafa Beauty.” She also served as a judge on a children’s dance reality show.
