New Delhi, Sep 25: Actress and politician Urmila Matondkar has taken a significant step in her personal life, filing for divorce from her husband, Mohsin Akhtar Mir, after eight years of marriage. According to our analysis the couple seemed to have faced challenges over the past year, leading to this difficult decision.

Urmila tied the knot with Kashmir-based businessman and model Mohsin Akhtar Mir on March 3, 2016. In 2023, she celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary with a heartfelt post on Instagram, sharing cherished photographs from their marriage. However, this year marked a noticeable absence on her social media, as she chose not to share any anniversary tribute, hinting at the challenges the couple has faced in recent months.

On May 21, 2023, Urmila shared a touching birthday message for her husband, Mohsin, celebrating his "kind heart" and "generosity of soul." Her heartfelt words showcased the love and admiration she had for him. However, this year, the absence of any birthday tribute from the actress reflects the significant changes in their relationship, further underscoring the challenges they have faced over the past year. The silence speaks volumes as Urmila navigates this new chapter in her life.

Throughout the first half of 2023, Urmila shared joyful moments with her husband Mohsin, posting happy pictures together during Eid in April and June, as well as snaps from their vacation in January. She also celebrated holidays like New Year and Christmas with heartwarming posts. However, since June 2023, Urmila has refrained from sharing any photos with Mohsin, signaling a shift in their relationship.

On Mohsin’s Instagram, the last couple photo dates back to March 4, 2023, and while his earlier posts featured romantic moments, the absence of recent updates suggests that all may not be well between the couple since mid-2023.

Moreover, as IANS has earlier reported, one possible reason could be the age gap between Urmila and Mohsin as the actress is 10 years elder to him, and also married quite late in life, in her 40s. Generally, marriages with huge age gaps lead to complications in the relationships.

Another reason being speculated is the tiff over finances that strained their relationship. A user on the content aggregation platform Reddit wrote that Mohsin, and her family were forcing the actress to sell off her property for their business till she had nothing.

As per the media reports, the divorce is not mutual with Urmila filing for the divorce four months ago.

Mohsin is a businessman and model from Kashmir, and has also worked in films such as ‘Luck By Chance’, ‘BA Pass’ and ‘Mumbai Mast Kallander’. Mohsin and Urmila first crossed paths during the wedding of celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra's niece in 2014.

It was said to be love at first sight for Mohsin. As a matter of fact, Manish was among the few public figures present at their intimate nuptials when the duo tied the nuptial knot in 2016. Urmila and Mohsin had paid a visit to Amritsar's Golden Temple, followed by a Nikah.

Bengaluru Woman Mahalakshmi's Suspected Killer Found Dead In Odisha

by Hemanta Pande

Bhubaneswar, Sep 25: A man suspected of killing a 29-year-old woman in Bengaluru and stuffing her dismembered body in a fridge before fleeing to his hometown was found hanging from a tree in Odisha’s Bhadrak district on Wednesday, police said.

The police also recovered a diary, believed to be belonging to the deceased man, Mukti Ranjan Ray, in which he confessed to killing the woman whose dismembered body was found in the fridge of her rented house in Bengaluru.

Bhadrak SP Varun Guntupalli said Ray (30), a resident of Bhuinpur village under Dhusuri police station in Bhadrak district, was the prime suspect in the woman's murder.

He was allegedly on the run following the discovery of the body parts of Mahalakshmi, a 29-year-old woman.

The accused had been living in Bengaluru's Hebbagodi area and worked at a fashion store in Malleswaram, where he met Mahalakshmi. Their relationship reportedly soured when Mahalakshmi began seeing another man, leading to frequent disputes. Investigators believe this tension resulted in her murder.

Earlier on the day, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara had said the police had information about the presence of the suspect in Odisha, and teams formed to crack the case had been sent there to nab him.

“We have recovered the body of Mukti Ranjan Ray hanging from a tree. The body was handed over to his family after conducting post-mortem,” Dhusuri Police Station IIC Santanu Jena said.

The SP said the police recovered a diary of Ray in which he confessed that he had dismembered the body of the Bengaluru woman into 59 pieces after killing her.

Ray had returned to the village from Bengaluru after the murder, he added.

The maggot-infested body of Mahalakshmi, chopped into several pieces and stuffed into the fridge, was found by her mother and elder sister at her Vyalikaval home on Saturday.

The deceased woman's estranged husband on Sunday expressed suspicion about the involvement of a man known to Mahalakshmi, who had been living alone, in her neighborhood.

The affected shops — Sai Arogyam Plus Medicine Store and Path Lab, L Zone Salon, and Sangeeta Bakery at Bhagabata Sandhana Square — were located along the stretch from GGP Colony to Jharapada Canal Bridge. These establishments were shut downed after evidence of open burning and roadside littering was found. The action was taken by Team Shine under the orders of the Deputy Commissioner (Sanitation).

BMC's Plogathon continues across various locations in Bhubaneswar as part of “Swachhata Pakhwada”. In celebration of "Swachhta Hi Seva," a large-scale cleaning drive was organized at the historic tourist sites of Khandagiri and Udayagiri, as well as in Ward 18 (GGP Colony) and Ward 19, covering areas like Bhagwan Tower - Canal Road, Malaya Vihar, and parts of Jagannatha Nagar.

A total of 320 people took part in the initiative, resulting in the collection of 2.5 metric tons of garbage.

In wards 18 and 19, a total of eight trips of garbage were collected along a 3 km stretch during a large-scale cleanliness drive. The event was graced by the presence of Deputy Commissioner of Sanitation Shri Manoranjan Sahu, North Zone Deputy Commissioner Priyadarshini Jena, and local corporator Biplab Behera.

The campaign witnessed active participation from Scouts and Guides, senior citizens, NGOs, self-help groups, Swachh Sathi, Swachh Supervisors, Swachh Karmi, and the Sanitary Inspector. Participants not only undertook mass cleaning efforts but also engaged the local community in promoting the importance of maintaining a clean, green, and beautiful Bhubaneswar. Vendors and citizens were educated on proper waste segregation and encouraged to responsibly hand over segregated waste to the Safa Gadi for collection.

Similarly, a mass cleaning drive was conducted by the BMC at various street food areas, including Shahid Nagar Khaogali, Satyanagar New Market front, and Khaogali No. 9, involving 110 vendors.
