'He was called terrorist': Urmila Matondkar

Post their wedding, Urmila once opened up on how Mohsin received hate on social media because of his faith. "He was called a terrorist, a Pakistani. To top it all, my husband is not just any Muslim, but a Kashmiri Muslim. We both follow our religions in our own way, and it gave them a bigger platform to troll me. There's a limit to where it should go," she had said.

Urmila had shared her last post with Mohsin on social media in June 2023, to wish their followers on Eid. In the past one year, the two have refrained from sharing pictures and content with each other on social media.
