One of the most loved actresses of all time, Urmila Matondkar is the epitome of natural beauty. From being a versatile performer, and an extraterrestrial beauty blessed with the best dancing feet in her era, the heroine has won millions of hearts by proving that an ordinary girl from a small place can also make it big in Bollywood.
Urmila Matondkar had tied the knot with her then-boyfriend, Mohsin Akhtar, on March 3, 2016, and it had both delighted and irked (because of inter-religion marriage) many people across the country. However, neither the actress nor her husband has ever let this negativity affect their personal life. In fact, they both enjoy and cherish the diversity of their culture and religion.

In an interview with The Times Of India, actor-turned-politician, Urmila Matondkar shared that she was eager to make sure that her husband, Mohsin Akhtar, witnesses her native place, Konkan's Ganeshotsav. However, owing to some work commitments, she couldn't visit her native place this year. She said, “I planned to be at my family home for at least two days to relive my joyful times as a child. I also wanted to visit my uncles’ homes with my husband as I want him to see the traditional way Ganeshotsav is celebrated at my native place.''
Going further in the interview Urmila also mentioned that she has always loved the way, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated at her native place in Konkan and also stated the difference between the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai and in Konkan. She added, ''The way the festival is celebrated there is the way I have always enjoyed it the best. I also love the way the celebrations are planned and executed in practically every corner of Mumbai, but back home, we don’t have loudspeakers, bhajan CDs blaring out all day.''

Urmila Matondkar also recalled the times when she was in Konkan and had enjoyed the Ganpati celebrations, the last time. She told the publication, ''I must have been really tiny when I visited our native place during Ganpati celebrations. I was mesmerised. There are these gushing rivers where we perform an aarti and kirtan and later complete the visarjan vidhi. The atmosphere was so pious and beautiful. I still remember the taste of the cashew and coconut sweets made at home. The celebrations are completely in tandem with Mother Nature. As I grew up, the visits to our native place became infrequent because of my school schedules.''
