Who is Mohsin Akhtar Mir:

Urmila's closest friend, ace designer Manish Malhotra revealed details about the lucky guy to Hindustan Times. "Urmila is a dear friend and I’m so happy for her. She met Mir Mohsin at my niece Rridhi’s wedding in Mumbai in December 2014 and they just hit it off. He used to be a model long back but now does the business of Kashmiri embroidery," he said.

“He’s a simple guy from Kashmir, now settled in Mumbai. The wedding was a really private affair and I was the only one from the film industry over there," he added.

According to another report in Hindustan Times, Mohsin is 10 years younger than the iconic actor.

When did the prep begin:

Urmila's best friend Paulomi Sanghvi was by her side throughout the secret wedding. Sharing the excitement with Pinkvilla. "Urmila and I discussed it two weeks back and then started planning things. 10 days have been super hectic. All the details had to be taken care of. The wedding was in her lovely Bandra flat. But it was so much fun," she said.

Was it a big fat Bollywood wedding:

No! The couple kept it a low-key affair with their close family and friends.

“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 on this new journey of our lives," Urmila told DNA.

Who stole the limelight:

With no major celebrity in attendance, B-town's favourite designer Manish were the only bigwigs in sight.

Who was she wearing:

She couldn't have gone wrong with this. The Rangeela actor looked radiant in red and pink. She donned a bespoke regal lengha choli designed by Manish.

"Urmila made a beautiful bride. She wore a red and pink bespoke lehnga from my Regal Threads banaras collection, which is my ode to the ‘Make in India’ movement. She looked so happy and I hope this happiness lasts forever," Manish told Hindustan Times.

Who shook their leg:

"It was a very special moment. We had loads of fun. Mehendi was held on Wednesday and the wedding was an early morning affair on Thursday," Paulomi told Pinkvilla.

"After the mehendi we let our hair down and grooved all night. Manish and my legs have gone, we danced so much. Both Urmila and Mohsin danced to all of her hit songs including Kambakht Ishq, Tanha Tanha and Rangeela songs. It is a must. Without that the celebration would have been incomplete," she added.
