MUMBAI (Dunya News) -Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar was trolled on Saturday after she was nominated the Congress candidate for Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat.

According to Indian media, some miscreants changed Urmila’s name, religion and other details on Wikipedia.

The rumors about her embracing Islam and changing her name to Marriyam Akhtar were making rounds on social media ahead of elections.

"For Urmila, this is purely an ideological fight for upholding democratic ideals and her strong convictions. She would never stoop so low as to discuss the family or relatives of her opponents on such platforms," said her father.

It is to be mentioned here that Urmila married to a Kashmiri businessman and model Mohsin Akhtar Mir in 2015.
