Urmila Matondkar Reveals Shocking Incidents on RGV’s ‘Satya’ Set. Urmila Matondkar candidly shared her annoyance with critics who focused only on her glamorous image during “Satya’s” release. At the special reunion screening of Ram Gopal Varma’s cult classic, she recalled how fashion designer Manish Malhotra was furious with her for wearing inexpensive sarees in the film. The event brought together the cast and crew, celebrating their shared memories and the film’s enduring impact. Let’s have a look at the shocking revelations made by Urmila Matondkar.
As the film Satya re-released in theatres on 17th January 205, the cast has been trending all over the internet. In a recent interview, Urmila Matondkar said, “I remember the scene where I go for lunch with Shefali Shah and Manoj Bajpayee… It was all quite a hotchpotch there, with people trying to set up lights and cameras… And I suddenly realised from their body language, which was of a couple, which has been married for 20 years… Now when and how did they figure that… there I was just sitting and completely convinced that I was sitting in front of some super talent, and now I just had to match them up and prove all those critics wrong who were only tomtoming about my glamour quotient, which incidentally is all that they could see but anyway, that’s part of past.”
In the same interview, the actress candidly discussed about an incident with Manish Malhotra. Urmila said, “I have to mention another maverick who worked on the movie, who I got firing from, which is Manish Malhotra. After Rangeela, here we were breaking our heads and buying these cheap sarees. So this one time, during an interview someone asked me something about my looks… and I was like, ‘Yaar, why are you all so obsessed with my pout and image? I am wearing sarees worth ₹500. Suddenly, I get a call… at that time mobiles were not common. He yelled, ‘Tumne ₹500 ka saree kyu bola? Was it necessary to mention THAT?’ I was like, ‘Manish, that’s the whole point’. I guess he missed it. But, today, he would have been happy that it’s okay it’s made up for it.”
