Secret or private marriages have become the latest trend in celebs and it’s apparently visible taking into consideration several instances we come across frequently. The recent secret wedding of Urmila Matondkar and Mir Mohsin Akhtar is another example of the same. The couple tied knot on 3rd March this year at the residence of Urmila following Hindu rituals.
The actress disclosed the news of her wedding in a statement but did not reveal details, “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 embarking this new journey of our lives.”
Just after the news of this wedding broke out, Urmila’s B-Town friends wished her luck for a happy married life and one name in the list was director and old friend Ram Gopal Varma.
RGV wished the 42-yr actress in the best possible manner by tweeting this:
Extremely happy to hear news about the most beautiful actress I ever worked with ..I wish from heart that her life wil b "Rangeela" forever
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) March 3, 2016
Just to inform, Ram Gopal Varma and Urmila have worked together in quite a number of hit movies like ‘Rangeela’, ‘Daud’, ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya’, ‘Kaun’ ‘Satya’, ‘Jungle’ ‘Bhoot’ etc.
What’s more, RGV has written about the actress in his book entitled “Guns and Thighs: The Story of My Life” under the chapter “The Women in My Filmy Life”.
This is what the director wrote,
“Post coming into films, the first girl to have an impact on me was Urmila Matondkar. I was mesmerised by Urmila’s beauty — from her face to her figure… everything about her was just divine. She had done a few films before Rangeela, which hadn’t done well and she hadn’t made much of an impact on the audience either.
Then, after Rangeela, she became the nation’s sex symbol. That doesn’t mean it was I who made her look beautiful. I would say that she was a painting and I simply framed her.
Apart from the frame, for a painting to be truly relished, it also needs the right place for it to be displayed in, and that place was Rangeela.
One of my primary motives in making Rangeela was to capture Urmila’s beauty eternally on camera and to make it a benchmark for sex symbols. I would say that I have never felt more of a cinematic high than when I watched her through my camera on the sets of Rangeela.
I don’t know how this may sound, but my biggest problem with Urmila on a personal front was that I just couldn’t accept her being an ordinary human being.”
