Actress and politician Urmila Matondkar, renowned for her roles in films like Rangeela, Satya, and Bhoot, has filed for divorce from her husband, Mohsin Akhtar Mir, after eight years of marriage. The couple’s split has sparked rumors regarding the potential reasons behind their decision.
One speculation points to the age difference between Urmila and Mohsin, with the actress being ten years older. Urmila married later in life, tying the knot in her 40s, which often presents challenges in relationships, particularly concerning family planning and children—a common expectation from the husband’s family.
Another issue believed to have contributed to the couple’s strained relationship is financial disputes. A user on the content aggregation platform Reddit alleged that Mohsin and his family pressured Urmila to sell her properties to support their business ventures, which may have caused significant tension.
Reports indicate that the divorce is not mutual; Urmila initiated the proceedings four months ago. Mohsin Akhtar Mir is a businessman and model from Kashmir who has appeared in films like Luck By Chance, BA Pass, and Mumbai Mast Kallander. The couple first met at the wedding of fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s niece in 2014, with Mohsin reportedly experiencing love at first sight. Manish was among the few public figures present at their intimate wedding ceremony in 2016, which took place at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, followed by a Nikah.
