Urmila Matondkar made her debut as a child actor in 1977, however, she came into limelight with Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Masoom’ that released in 1983. The actress has ever since been a favourite not only with the critics but also the audience thanks to her bubbly persona and her killer dancing skills.

The actress married actor-model-businessman Mohsin Akhtar Mir in 2016 and recently made a special appearance in Irrfan Khan starrer ‘Blackmail’. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, discussing how Bollywood has changed for good, the actress said, “Different kinds of movies are being made and they’re doing good business. It’s changed a lot and for the better. This whole thing that movies are not being made for heroines solely is also not prevalent anymore.”

When asked about her opinion on the current generation of actresses, Urmila said, “I’ve love the way Deepika (Padukone) has evolved as an actor over the years. From where she has started to where she has reached, she has tried to do different kinds of roles. The range has been fantastic. Alia Bhatt, of course, is lovely. Even Kangana Ranaut has done phenomenal work. She becomes the character she plays.” (Also Read: EXCLUSIVE: Will Alankrita direct ‘Veere Di Wedding’ sequel?)
