Urmila Matondkar, a well-known Bollywood actress, has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband of eight years, Mohsin Akhtar Mir.
The couple, who tied the knot on February 4, 2016, had captured public attention due to their interfaith marriage and a notable 10-year age gap. However, their relationship, which appeared strong in its early years, has now come to an unfortunate end.
While the specific reasons for their separation remain unknown, sources from a Mumbai court have confirmed that the divorce filing has indeed taken place. Reports suggest that the split may not be mutual, though neither party has made any public statement regarding the matter.
Urmila and Mohsin’s love story began at a high-profile wedding in 2014. They first met at designer Manish Malhotra’s niece’s nuptials, where the two formed an immediate connection. Urmila, a renowned actress with an impressive body of work in Bollywood, and Mohsin, a model and businessman from Kashmir, quickly grew close. Two years later, in 2016, they married in a private ceremony attended only by close family and friends. The couple’s wedding garnered media attention, not only for being low-key but also for its interfaith dynamic, with Urmila being Hindu and Mohsin Muslim, along with their significant age gap.
Despite the initial promise of their union, their nearly decade-long marriage has reached its conclusion. Rumors of tension between the two have circulated in recent months, though neither has addressed them publicly.
Mohsin Akhtar Mir, originally hailing from Kashmir, moved to Mumbai at the age of 21 to pursue a career in the film industry. He appeared in several Bollywood films, including It’s A Man’s World (2009), Luck by Chance (2009), Mumbai Mast Kallander (2011), and B.A. Pass (2012). Though he had some success as an actor, Mohsin eventually transitioned into the business world and became closely associated with Manish Malhotra’s fashion label.
This news marks a significant chapter in both Urmila and Mohsin’s lives, though further details about their divorce remain undisclosed at this time.
