Love Story of Urmila Matondkar and her Kashmiri Husband
Mir Mohsin Akhtar is a Kashmiri and comes from a family of businessmen. He left his family home at the age of 21 to try his luck at modelling. He was the second runners-up at The Times of India, Mr India 2007 competition. He walked the ramp for designers such as Taroon Kumar, Manish Malhotra, Vikram Phadnis, and Ranna Gill. He even tried his luck in Bollywood with films like It’s A Man’s World, Mumbai Mast Kallander, and Luck By Chance. He is almost ten years younger to Urmila. Mohsin has a brother and three sisters who are all very close to Urmila.
Urmila and Mohsin met at Manish Malhotra’s niece, Riddhi Malhotra’s wedding in 2014. And, it was there that Mohsin was completely smitten by Urmila. As per a report in the Mumbai Mirror, he wooed her in complete filmi-style. He pursued her for over a year before she finally gave in. Manish Malhotra had said:
“So happy for Urmila and Mir. They met at my niece’s wedding in 2014. She made a beautiful bride!”
Mohsin’s family flew in from Kashmir a month before the wedding to fix the wedding date. Urmila looked ravishing in a red and golden lehenga designed by Manish Malhotra. Her mehendi and jewellery looked stunning, and the bridal glow radiated on her face. Mohsin too complemented his bride well in a peach-coloured kurta and a white pyjama. As per the same report in Mumbai Mirror, Mohsin and Urmila threw a party for their friends on March 2, 2016. The couple stays together in Urmila’s house. Here are a few more pictures from their wedding ceremony:
