Urmila Matondkar’s Affairs and Relationships

Urmila Matondkar and Ram Gopal Verma

Urmila Matondkar made her film debut in Ram Gopal Varma's Rangeela and she has ruled Bollywood. However Urmila had paid a high price for falling in love with Ram Gopal Varma. According to rumors Urmila collaborated with Ram Gopal Varma on films like Satya Bhoot and Kaun following Rangeela. Although Urmila and Ram Gopal Varma fell in love while these movies were being made none of them could be described as great. At the same time their mutual love began to blossom over time. The two's friendship soon became the subject of widespread news reports. Urmila's romance with Ram Gopal Varma soon began to impact her professional life. To this day the two of them Urmila Matondkar and Ram Gopal Varma haven't accepted their relationship. When the two fell out Urmila was not getting any good films. 

One chapter from the director's book makes it clear that the separation was difficult for him to handle. Ram Gopal Varma writes about the actress in his book Guns and Thighs: The Story of My Life chapter headed The Women in My Filmy Life. After getting into movies Urmila Matondkar was the first girl to make an impression on me he wrote. I was amazed by Urmila's beauty; everything about her was magnificent from her face to her physique. Prior to Rangeela she had acted in a few unsuccessful films and had not particularly impressed the audience. Subsequently Urmila Matondkar was declared the country's sex symbol after the Rangeela movie. That doesn't imply that I was the one who enhanced her beauty. She was a painting I suppose and I just framed her. A painting needs the right place to be shown in addition to the right frame in order to be enjoyed in its entirety and that place was Rangeela. One of my main goals in creating Rangeela was to immortalize Urmila's beauty on film and establish it as a standard for sex symbols. I would say that watching her through my camera on the Rangeela sets gave me the greatest cinematic high I've ever experienced. My biggest issue with Urmila Matondkar personally—and I'm not sure how this will sound—was that I simply couldn't accept her as an average human being.

Anyhow after her wedding Urmila Matondkar issued a statement that stated We kept it an exclusive wedding with only family and friends present. We both agreed to keep it private because our family wanted the wedding to be a low-key event. We ask for your blessing as we begin this new chapter in our life. As soon as the news spread many of her film industry acquaintances including her ex-boyfriend and filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma wished her a happy marriage. He wished her a wonderful rangeelamarriage and congratulated her. In addition he added that she was the most stunning woman he had ever worked with.

Urmila Matondkar's Husband Mohsin Akhtar Mir

At Riddhi Malhotra Manish Malhotra's niece wedding in 2014 Urmila and Mohsin first came into contact. And it was there that Urmila fully won over Mohsin. According to a report in the Mumbai Mirror he courted her in traditional movie fashion. Before she finally caved he chased her for more than a year. According to Manish Malhotra I'm so thrilled for Mir and Urmila. They first connected at my niece's 2014 wedding. She was a stunning bride!

On March 3 2016 Urmila and Mir got married in a private ceremony at Urmila's home. Only close friends and relatives were invited to the wedding. She had stated in a statement: Only family and close friends attended the party because we kept it a private wedding. since both of our families wanted a low-key wedding. We both agreed to keep it confidential. We ask for your blessing as we begin this new chapter in our life.
