The couple reportedly crossed paths at a mutual friend’s wedding in 2014. Their initial meeting sparked a quiet romance. Despite the considerable nine-year age gap and their religions, the couple is said to have connected over their shared interests, and they gradually began dating.

Following their wedding, Urmila and Mohsin maintained a relatively low profile, occasionally appearing together at events or sharing glimpses of their life on social media. Mohsin, an aspiring actor and model, supported Urmila’s career and her brief foray into politics, where she contested the 2019 elections as a Congress candidate.
