Urmila Matondkar Is Coping With The Isolation

Urmila Matondkar has  always been a bit of a recluse. Even when she was shooting round-the-clock she made sure she  rushed home immediately  after pack-up.

 Now with the  enforced lockdown I   found Urmila   to be the least perturbed about the lack of physical movement.

 Says   Urmila Matondkar , “I’ve always been a home bird so it’s not an issue as such as of now.”

Urmila Matondkar  is keeping busy with her dogs(she has been  a canine enthusiast  from the  time  I  got  to know  her 20 years ago) and whole lot  of  reading. She and her husband Mohsin Akhtar Mir have been  giving each other company during these times  of prolonged  isolation.

  Says  Urmila Matondkar , “This  is certainly a good time to introspect on many aspects  of  our living and lifestyle.”

 She  also feels this  is  the moment when we  need  to realize how fickle  life is. “It’s frankly a wake-up call for all humankind to be grateful,stay humble and  grounded. It would be nice for everyone to realise what’s been missing from his or her  life and   alter the  thinking process accordingly.”

Urmila admits the lockdown has  made  her  a bit lazy. “The  sleeping hours and  the  eating frequency have increased. But it’s a phase of life , so it  has to be taken in one’s stride.”
