In 2016, Urmila Matondkar surprised everyone after announcing her wedding to Mohsin Akhtar. While it was more of an intimate affair, designer Manish Malhotra, who also happens to be her close friend, was one of the few celebrities present.

The couple first visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar, following it up with a nikah ceremony.

In a statement, the Judaai actor expressed her joy and stated, 'We kept it an exclusive wedding with just family and friends at the celebration. Since our families wanted the wedding to be a low-key affair, we mutually decided to keep it private. We seek your blessings on embarking on this new journey of our lives.'

The couple initially crossed paths in 2014 at Manish Malhotra's niece's wedding in Mumbai. Despite the considerable nine-year age gap and religions, they bonded over their shared interests and soon started dating.

After Manisha and Mohsin's marriage, the two maintained a low-key social profile. They often shared adorable moments with their fans and followers on social media. Mohsin, an aspiring actor and a businessman from Kashmir, supported his former wife throughout her cinematic career and a brief foray into politics, where she contested the 2019 elections on a Congress ticket.

For those who don't know, Mohsin Akhtar has been featured in a couple of films like Luck By Chance and B.A. Pass, among others.
