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.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: Ahaan Panday's blockbuster has already beaten Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Ranbir Kapoor's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: Director Mohit Suri's Saiyaara steps into its second week, all set to pass the Rs 200 crore mark at the box office. Debutante actor Ahaan Panday has announced himself in a grand manner, with his first project outgrossing some of the biggest films of the last few years. According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 17.5 crore net on day 8, taking the total domestic collection to Rs 190.25 crore. At a time when films are struggling to break even, especially the ones starring new faces or debutantes, this kind of performance is unprecedented. After surpassing superstar Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (164.74 cr), Saiyaara's latest victim is Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 (173 cr). Saiyaara has also overtaken the ensemble comedy Housefull 5 (183 cr), which was filled to the brim with big Bollywood names and had two separate endings. The film saw a bit of a dip in its occupancy rates, with the average of day 8 coming out at 25.6%. The morning and afternoon shows managed rates of 13.69% and 23.58%, while the evening and night shows achieved 25.39% and 39.72%. ALSO READ: Suniel Shetty says Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan are always one phone call away: 'Not because I helped them when they needed, but…' For comparison, Saiyaara has now earned more (net collection) than the lifetime earnings of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (188 cr), Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiya 2 (184 cr), Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra's Bajirao Mastani (184 cr), Shah Rukh Khan's Raees (164 cr), and Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif's Bang Bang! (174 cr). It's true that times have changed since most of these films came out, but it should also be noted that audiences now have more of an incentive to sit at home and use streaming services rather than go to the theatres. YRF and Mohit Suri came up with the strategy to keep the new stars away from the spotlight, building intrigue around the project. Both Ahaan and Aneet now need to assess opportunities and think very carefully about their next project, as everything they do from this point on will be compared to this film.
