Urmila Matondkar married A fter news broke of Preity Zinta and beau Gene Goodenough's wedding in Los Angeles, the grapevine is buzzing about Urmila Matondkar’s hush-hush nuptials with Kashmiri model-turned -actor Mohsin Akhtar Mir in Mumbai. Word is that the couple met at a common friend’s party and struck a chord immediately, with the quiet and unassuming Mohsin sweeping Urmila off her feet. Known for his bit part in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance and the yet unreleased It’s A Man’s World, Mohsin is now in the garments industry. In an official statement to the media, the actress divulged that it was a mutual decision to keep the wedding private, with only friends and family in attendance. The only celebrity presence was that of ace desginer Manish Malhotra. "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 embaring on this new journey of our lives," she stated.Congratulations to the happy couple! 17 | BOOM
