Urmila Matondkar is currently making headlines due to resurfaced claims of an affair with Ram Gopal Varma. Recently, veteran journalist Jyoti Venkatesh alleged that she was secretly married to the Indian filmmaker. Notably, the statements came just over a month after Urmila’s ex-husband, Mohsin Akhtar Mir moved on and got remarried to Nidhaa Bhatt. Amid the buzz around the duo’s new lives, their past relationship, interfaith marriage, and reason for the split are in focus.

Urmila Matondkar and Mohsin Akhtar were once a beloved celebrity couple, which went beyond cast, creed or religion. Notably, Urmila is a Hindu and Mohsin belongs to an Islamic family. Their interfaith marriage in 2016 generated immense noise. Besides that, their age gap was also another point of public chatter. Notably, Urmila (born on February 4, 1974) is about ten years older than Mohsin (born circa 1984). She is 52 years old, and he is 41-42 as of August 2026.
Urmila and Mohsin first met in 2014, at the wedding of Manish Malhotra’s niece. At that time, Urmila was a popular actress, while Mohsin was a businessman. The former couple were reported to have connected instantly at the party and kept in touch thereafter. They then started going on dates and gradually fell in love. After going out for about two years, the former couple decided to take their relationship to the next level. They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2016.
