Urmila had said this about changing religion
In a conversation with Bombay Times, Urmila reacted to changing her religion after marriage. Urmila said- ‘I do not appreciate this kind of politics. First of all, how does it matter? I am the kind of person I am and I do things according to my own wishes. I am proud of who I am. I am not saying that I am the kind of person who never makes mistakes, but I have not done anything that would shame me.’
‘In the kind of industry (film) I was in, it takes a lot of effort to keep yourself away from negativity, toxicity and gossip. I stay away from all this. So when the news of changing religion came, I felt very bad. I am a Hindu. I follow Hinduism. But I believe in Hinduism in a wider sense, not the Hinduism that is being sold these days. Even if I had adopted Islam, I would have said it with pride. No one else should have any concern with it.’
Let us tell you that Urmila’s married life is not going well. The news of her and Mohsin Akhtar getting divorced is in the news. There are reports that Urmila has filed for divorce. However, no official statement has been issued by Urmila and Mohsin yet.
