Actor Urmila Matondkar, who joined the Indian National Congress in March this year, has rebuked the central government for the security clampdown imposed in Jammu and Kashmir since August 4.

While addressing the media, the actor-turned-Congess politician revealed her personal ordeal. She said that her husband, a businessman who hails from Kashmir, hasn't been able to talk to his parents for the last 22 days. Urmila's in-laws live in Jammu and Kashmir.

"The question is not only about abrogating Article 370. It was done in inhuman manner," she said, speaking to the media on Friday.

Urmila also revealed that her in-laws suffer from diabetes and high-blood pressure. "My father-in-law and mother-in-law stay there. Both are diabetic, have high blood pressure. Today is the 22nd day, neither me nor my husband have been able to speak to them. We have no clue if they have medicines available at home," she said.

On August 5, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in the Rajya Sabha, announced the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which gave special status to the state. The state of Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

Urmila Matondkar contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Mumbai North, but lost the seat to BJP candidate Gopal Shetty with a margin of 4,65,247 votes.

Urmila was last seen on the big screen in 2018 film Blackmail. She had a special appearance in the song Bewafa Beauty.

Urmila Matondkar tied the knot with Mohsin Akhtar Mir in a private ceremony in March 2016. Urmila and Mohsin first met at a party in 2014 and dated for a few years before tying the knot. Her husband Mohsin Akhtar Mir is a model-businessman based in Mumbai, who hails from Kashmir.
