Who Is Uditaa Goswami? Mohit Suri's Wife Who Once Ruled Bollywood With Bold Roles
As director Mohit Suri is back in the spotlight for the buzz around his latest romance drama, Saiyaara, there's also renewed interest about the woman beside him— Uditaa Goswami. While many may remember Udita for her bold roles in films like Zeher and Aksar, she has since embarked on an entirely new and inspiring journey.
Born and raised in Dehradun, Uditaa Goswami studied at Cambrian Hall and DAV Public School before embarking entering the entertainment industry. Her striking presence soon caught the audience's attention, earning her a spot in the viral remix music video Kya Khoob Lagti Ho opposite Upen Patel.
Her Bollywood debut came in 2003 with Pooja Bhatt's first directorial venture, Paap. Starring alongside John Abraham, Uditaa won hearts with her impressive screen presence.
However, it was her collaborations with Emraan Hashmi that truly brought her into the spotlight. In the 2005 thriller Zeher, her acting prowess shone through, and who does not remember the unforgettable romantic track Agar Tum Mil Jao? Soon after the release, the song turned out to be a chartbuster for Uditaa's sizzling chemistry with Emraan.
Later, the duo reunited in Aksar (2006). The erotic thriller is known for the chartbuster song Jhalak Dikhla Ja – a song that soon became a massive hit and cemented both Emraan and Uditaa's rising stature in pop culture.
Apart from her popular films with Emraan Hashmi, Uditaa also delivered noteworthy performances in Aggar, Kisse Pyaar Karoon, Fox, Chase, Rokkk, and Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai. Her last appearance on the big screen was in Diary of a Butterfly (2012), following which she quietly stepped away from the spotlight.
Family Life And Bollywood Connection
Beyond the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry, Uditaa's personal life also remained in the spotlight. She began dating filmmaker Mohit Suri and the couple tied the knot in 2013. Together, they welcomed two children—a daughter, Devi, born in 2015, and a son, Karrma, born in 2018.
As of now, Uditaa is also connected to Bollywood's renowned names. She is the sister-in-law of Pooja Bhatt and Alia Bhatt, whereas Emraan Hashmi is her brother-in-law, making her a part of the influential Bhatt film family.
According to her Instagram bio, Uditaa Goswami has embraced a new identity as a DJ – beautifully balancing motherhood, marriage and music.

Last Updated: On Day 7, Saiyaara minted Rs 16.61 crore. While the figure is slightly lower than its previous day's earnings, the weekday numbers continue to stay in double digits. Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 7: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is unstoppable at the box office. Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara is showing no signs of slowing down even after a week of its release. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer has managed to hold strong at the ticket window, and according to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film has now crossed the Rs 170 crore mark in India. On Day 7, Saiyaara minted Rs 16.61 crore. While the figure is slightly lower than its previous day's earnings, the weekday numbers continue to stay in double digits. The total domestic collection now stands at approximately Rs 170.36 crore. With no major releases lined up for this Friday, the film is expected to dominate the box office in its second weekend as well. Saiyaara Beats Lifetime Collection of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani In a major feat, Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime collection of Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, which had earned around Rs 153.55 crore during its theatrical run. The 2023 film starred Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, making Saiyaara's performance even more impressive considering its relatively new lead cast. A Love Story That's Winning Hearts Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara tells the story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), an aspiring musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Their whirlwind romance is tested by an unexpected revelation. The film has been lauded for its emotional depth, intense performances, and soulful music. Mohit Suri Thanks Sandeep Reddy Vanga On Thursday, director Mohit Suri took to social media to express his gratitude to Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for showing faith in Saiyaara. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'Sandeep, @imvangasandeep thank you for being the first one to openly support and express your generous belief in Saiyaara. It meant the world coming from a filmmaker whose craft I deeply admire.. Here's to more powerful cinema and always a fan!" With strong word of mouth, powerful storytelling, and heartfelt performances, Saiyaara continues to pull audiences to theatres. All eyes are now on the second weekend to see how far this love story can soar. First Published: July 25, 2025, 04:48 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Karan Johar Regrets Making Aditya Roy Kapur And Shraddha Kapoor's 'Ok Jaanu': 'I've Gone Wrong'
Last Updated: Karan Johar admitted he went against his gut instinct while remaking Mani Ratnam's film as OK Jaanu. The Shraddha-Aditya film flopped in 2017. Filmmaker Karan Johar recently admitted to making a miscalculated decision when he backed the 2017 film OK Jaanu, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. While speaking on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Karan reflected on how ignoring his gut instinct has cost him in the past with OK Jaanu being a prime example. 'Should This Film Be Remade?' Karan Asked Himself The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani director recalled being unsure about the idea of remaking Mani Ratnam's Tamil hit O Kadhal Kanmani. 'It is called OK Jaanu. Aditya and Shraddha just had a blockbuster called Aashiqui 2. They had already agreed to do the film," Karan shared. The film came to him as a ready remake with Shaad Ali at the helm. But even then, his heart said otherwise. 'In my heart, I had actually felt that, 'Should this film be remade?' Because it's so much about that moment. Can that moment be recaptured?" he recalled. 'The Magic Couldn't Be Recaptured' Karan Johar further added, 'Somewhere, the magic of the original we couldn't recapture. And it was nobody's fault. But my instinct told me I shouldn't do it. And I did it. And that's when I realised I should listen to my instinct. I have gone wrong." Released in 2017, OK Jaanu failed to recreate the success of Aashiqui 2. The film received lukewarm reviews from critics and performed poorly at the box office despite its music and fresh pairing. 'Failures Are As Special As Success' Despite the disappointment, Karan doesn't shy away from owning up to his mistakes. He told Jay Shetty, 'Every failure of mine is as special to me as success. It's just the way I look at it." The filmmaker has always been candid about his hits and flops and views every experience as a lesson. Over the years, Karan Johar has launched several talents and backed countless projects under Dharma Productions, making him one of the most successful names in the industry.

Ibrahim Ali Khan, who recently made his acting debut with Sarzameen, is being lauded online for a thoughtful interaction with a specially-abled fan. The young actor attended the premiere of his film on Thursday night in Mumbai and looked dapper in an all-black ensemble. While the event was star-studded, it was Ibrahim's heartwarming gesture that truly stole the spotlight. In a viral video posted by paparazzo Viral Bhayani, Ibrahim is seen exiting a suburban theatre after the premiere. As he prepares to leave, a fan with a hearing and speech impairment approaches him for a photo. Ibrahim, without hesitating, engages with the fan using sign language. The video shows Ibrahim patiently conversing with the fan and even advising him to 'go home and sleep." The fan, touched by the moment, tries to share his home address with Ibrahim by showing it on Google Maps. Ibrahim waits, looks at the location, shares a warm hug with the fan, and then heads to his car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Pap (@bollywoodpap) Netizens were quick to applaud Ibrahim's humility and empathy. Many praised his upbringing, calling it 'good parenting."

'Soon after I was born, I had very bad jaundice and that went straight to my brainstem. I went on to lose quite a bit of my hearing, and that impacted my speech," he shared. He further added, 'My speech is something that I've had to work hard on since I was a child, with coaches and therapists. It's not perfect; I'm still working really hard on it."
