Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar, 42, who gained instant fame with her role in the Ram Gopal Varma film ‘Rangeela’, tied the knot on Thursday afternoon with Kashmir-based businessman and model Mohsin Akhtar Mir, 32, in a quiet ceremony.
“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 this new journey of our lives,” Urmila, 42, said in a statement.
A close friend of Urmila, designer Manish Malhotra was the only Bollywood personality present at the wedding. The duo had reportedly met at Malhotra’s niece’s wedding in 2014, and have been dating since then.
Manish later tweeted: “Most beautiful bride Urmila Matondkar # Congratulations”
“Beautiful bride Urmila Matondkar in @ Manish Malhotra bespoke outfit from The Regal Threads’ an ode to # MakeIndia,” he said in another tweet.
The couple is reportedly planning a huge reception for their friends and family members.
Matondkar made her acting debut as a child artist in Shreeram Lagoo’s 1980 marathi film Zaakol. Her first adult role was in the Malayalam film Chanakyan (1989), in which she was cast alongside Kamal Hassan, according to Wikipedia. She went to star in several Bollywood films, including Rangeela (1995), the drama Judaai (1997), and the crime thriller Satya (1998), all of which earned her Filmfare Award nominations. These roles established her in Bollywood and earned her the tag of a sex symbol. Matondkar also gained recognition in Telugu and Tamil cinema with roles in Antham (1992), Gaayam (1993), Indian (1996), and Anaganaga Oka Roju (1997).
For her performance in Bhoot, she won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.
