Throwback: Urmila Matondkar Trolled For Marrying 10-Year Younger Mohsin, Called 'Cradle Snatcher'

Urmila Matondkar is one of the most popular actresses of the 90s in Bollywood. And still, she manages to keep her charm alive in the hearts of her millions of fans. She has already shown her graceful acting skills, dance moves and gorgeous looks in several movies, including Rangeela, Judaai, Satya, Khoobsurat, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Blackmail, and many others. However, her personal life has taken a tumultuous turn, with recent reports alleging that she and her husband have filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. With this, old buzz resurfaced of the time when Urmila Matondkar got trolled for marrying Mohsin.

When Urmila Matondkar got trolled for marrying Moshin Mir

Urmila and Mohsin’s marriage, which took place on March 3, 2016, grabbed attention for several reasons at that time. The couple first met in 2014 at the wedding of designer Manish Malhotra's niece, and soon after, they began dating. Their relationship eventually led to a private wedding, attended only by close family and friends, with Manish Malhotra being the sole celebrity present. The wedding stood out not only because of their interfaith union, Urmila being Hindu and Mohsin Muslim, but also due to the 10-year age difference between them.

However, like Priyanka Chopra, Urmila also faced significant backlash at the time of her marriage for choosing a younger man. Online trolls criticised her for the age gap, with some calling her a ‘cradle-snatcher’ since Mohsin was just 32 at the time. Some rumours even suggested that he married her for her fame, but the couple chose to ignore the negativity.

Urmila Matondkar reportedly separated after 8 years of marriage

A source close to Urmila Matondkar and her husband Mohsin Akhtar has confirmed their separation to a media outlet. The insider revealed that the reason behind the split is still unclear, and the divorce is not on mutual terms.

Following the news, social media users quickly reacted on X (formerly Twitter), with many commenting on the rising trend of celebrity divorces. One user wrote, “Urmila Matondkar files for divorce... So many celebrity divorces these days, even after 10, 15, or 20 years of marriage. What's the reason?” Another added, “Divorce has become a trend in Bollywood, but it’s better than staying in a toxic marriage.”
