Throwback: When Urmila Matondkar reacted to trolls attacking husband Mohsin Akhtar and his family

Urmila Matondkarwho married Mohsin Akhtar Mir in March 2016, had publicly expressed her anger over the persistent trolling aimed at Mohsin and his family. The actress-turned-politician revealed the emotional impact of these online attacks, shedding light on the severe harassment they faced as a result of their interfaith marriage.
In an interview with Mojo Story, Urmila recounted how Mohsin has been subjected to derogatory labels, including being called a “terrorist” and a “Pakistani.” She emphasized that there is a limit to what can be tolerated, stating, “I mean, there is a limit to where it should go…They have even infiltrated my Wikipedia page and they have gone and put my mother’s name as Rukhsana Ahmed and my father’s name as Shivinder Singh, two human beings who must be living somewhere in India but I don’t know of. My father’s name is Shrikant Matondkar and my mother’s name is Sunita Matondkar.”
Urmila further added, “To top it all, my husband is not only a Muslim but a Kashmiri Muslim. We both follow our religions in an equally staunch way. That gave them a bigger platform to troll me and constantly target him and his family. It was very unfortunate,” she added.

According to a source from a Mumbai court, the actress filed for divorce approximately four months ago.
