While the exact reasons for the split remain unclear, it has been reported that the decision to end the marriage was solely Urmila’s.

The couple’s divorce is not by mutual consent, sources in the court disclosed.

Urmila is reportedly eager to focus on her career after the separation and may be planning to return to the film industry.

Urmila Matondkar and Mohsin Akhtar's marriage surprised many in Bollywood and among fans due to their differing religious backgrounds.

Mohsin Akhtar, a Kashmiri businessman and model, is ten years younger than Urmila.

The two first met in 2014 at a wedding event hosted by designer Manish Malhotra’s niece.
