Urmila and Mohsin, who is 40 years old, exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at her Mumbai residence in 2016, attended by a select few, including renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra. Their marriage attracted media attention, notably due to their 10-year age difference.

On-screen, she was last featured in a song titled “Bewafa Beauty” from the 2018 film Blackmail and has also made appearances on television as a judge for a children’s dance reality show.
