Urmila Matondkar's Ex-Husband Mohsin Posts Second Marriage Pictures; Sparks Cryptic Note

Urmila Matondkar, the Bollywood model‑actress, filed for divorce from her first husband Mohsin Akhtar Mir in 2024 after eight years of marriage. The split came amid reports of marital discord that surfaced earlier that year, with a source close to the couple claiming that the actress had approached a Mumbai court for dissolution in September. The two were wed on 4 February 2016 in an intimate ceremony that drew attention for its interfaith nature and a ten‑year age gap.

Just months after the divorce filing, Mohsin posted a series of photographs on Instagram from his second‑marriage reception. The images show him in a pink sherwani while his new wife, Nidhaa Bhatt, is pictured in a striking red ensemble. In the caption he wrote, “You didn’t just become my wife. You became my home, my peace, and my favorite part of every day. I’m grateful to Allah for bringing you into my life, and I promise to cherish you, stand by you, and love you through every chapter of our journey. Here’s to us, to forever, and to the beautiful life we’re about to build together. Thank you for being mine, my love. Forever grateful for you.” He added a prayerful note about gratitude, love, and faith, urging his followers to keep their souls pure and trust in Allah’s plan.

In a separate Instagram Stories post, Matondkar shared a cryptic message that read, “I like expensive things like love, loyalty and time.” The brief statement came after Mohsin’s announcement of his new marriage in June, and it was interpreted by many as a subtle hint at perceived lack of loyalty during their own union.

Mohsin’s background is that of a businessman and model from Kashmir, and he and Matondkar first met at a wedding hosted by designer Manish Malhotra’s niece in 2014. Their wedding was attended by a handful of public figures, including the designer himself, and the couple had previously visited Amritsar’s Golden Temple before completing a Nikah ceremony. The couple’s split marked the end of a nearly decade‑long marriage that had once been celebrated for its boldness and cultural blend.
