Mohsin received hate on social media

Post Urmila and Mohsin’s wedding, Mohsin received hate on social media for their inter-faith wedding. Talking about the same, Urmila once shared, “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.” Urmila also expressed her frustration by saying, “They even altered my Wikipedia page. It was beyond belief.”
