Bollywood actor Urmila Matondkar has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband, businessman-model Mohsin Akhtar Mir. Urmila and Mohsin, who had been married for eight years, are now heading for separation.
A source close to the couple shared, “After careful consideration, Urmila has decided to call it quits on her marriage with Mohsin. She has already filed for divorce in court. While the reason behind the separation is still unknown, the divorce isn’t happening on mutual terms.”
The couple’s love story began in 2014 when they first met at the wedding of designer Manish Malhotra’s niece. After dating for two years, Urmila Matondkar and Mohsin Akhtar Mir tied the knot on February 4, 2016, in a private ceremony held at Urmila’s residence in Mumbai.

The wedding was an intimate affair, attended by only close friends and family members. The news of their divorce has come as a shock to their fans and well-wishers, as the two had maintained a relatively low-key and private relationship throughout their marriage.
Urmila, who has been largely absent from the film industry in recent years, was one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses during the 1990s and early 2000s. She gained widespread fame with her performance in Rangeela, a 1995 hit that made her a household name.
Known for her dynamic acting and dance skills, Urmila’s filmography includes a mix of commercial blockbusters and critically acclaimed performances.
Some of her other notable works include films like Judaai, Satya, Mast, Khoobsurat, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Bhoot, and Ek Hasina Thi. She earned a reputation for her versatility and ability to portray a wide range of characters, from bubbly and glamorous roles to dark, intense performances. Her contribution to Hindi cinema earned her several accolades over the years.
In her earlier years, Urmila also appeared as a child actor, making her film debut in Shekhar Kapur’s adaptation of Erich Segal’s novel Man, Woman, and Child, titled Masoom. However, her real breakthrough came when she transitioned into adult roles, eventually becoming one of the most iconic actresses of her generation.
Although she took a hiatus from acting, her performances in films like Rangeela and Satya continue to resonate with fans.
Urmila’s last full-fledged role in Bollywood was in the 2014 Marathi film Ajoba, though she made a brief appearance in the song Bewafa Beauty from the 2018 film Blackmail. On the other hand, Mohsin Akhtar Mir has worked in a few projects, including It’s A Man’s World, Luck By Chance, Mumbai Mast Kallander, and B.A. Pass, among others.
Despite their individual accomplishments in the entertainment industry, it seems their marriage could not withstand the test of time. As the divorce proceedings move forward, fans are left wondering what went wrong between the couple who had been together for almost a decade.
Although no official statement has been made by either Urmila or Mohsin, the news of their separation has already made headlines, leaving their supporters hoping for more clarity.
While it remains uncertain what the future holds for both of them, one thing is clear: Urmila Matondkar will always be remembered as a trailblazer in Bollywood, a versatile actress who brought life to every role she played.
