Former actor who did bold films with brother-in-law Emraan Hashmi, left acting, became DJ, married Saiyaara director
Mohit Suri is married to former actor-model Udita Goswami.
Born on February 9, 1984, in Dehradun, Udita began her journey in the showbiz industry as a model. She started young, walking the ramp for the first time at just 16. She later moved to Delhi to pursue a modelling career, won the MTV Model Mission contest, and went on to become one of the city's most popular models.
She captured public attention with her screen presence in ad campaigns for major brands like Pepsi and Titan watches.
In 2003, filmmaker Pooja Bhatt gave her first break in the film Paap opposite John Abraham. Little did anyone know that Udita would one day become part of the Bhatt family itself. While Paap did not perform well at the box office, it launched Udita on the big screen and left a mark.
Following Paap, Udita starred in several bold, romantic films, including Zeher (2005, directed by Mohit Suri) opposite brother-in-law Emraan Hashmi and Aksar (2006) with Dino Morea and Emraan—both commercial hits.
She also appeared with Upen Patel in Ahmed Khan's music video remix of Kya Khoob Lagti Ho.
Her other, less successful films included Aggar, Kisse Pyaar Karoon, Chase, Rokkk, and Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai.
In 2012, Udita played the lead role in Diary of a Butterfly, directed by Vinodh Mukhi. The film received mixed reviews and became her last acting project.
She then decided to follow her passion for music and quit acting, even letting go of her Hollywood dreams. Udita trained as a DJ and began performing at exclusive private parties and curated events. Her shift from films to DJing surprised many, but for Udita, it was a natural extension of her love for rhythm and sound.
Over the years, she gradually faded away from the spotlight.
Udita and Mohit Suri first crossed paths during the making of Zeher. Their professional connection soon turned into a strong bond and a long-term relationship. After several years of dating, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Mumbai's Juhu ISKCON temple in 2013.
They welcomed two children—a daughter in 2015 and a son in 2018.
Udita's marriage to Mohit Suri made her a part of the Bhatt family, one of Bollywood's most influential film dynasties. Through Mohit, she is related to stars Alia Bhatt and Emraan Hashmi, making her their sister-in-law.
Recently, Udita was spotted out and about in Mumbai with her husband Mohit Suri and their kids.

The film earned significantly during its second weekend. According to a report by Sacnilk, Saiyyara collected Rs 31.18 crore at the box office on its second Sunday alone. This is an early estimate, and the final figure may vary slightly once all data is compiled.

The film's worldwide collection has crossed Rs 370 crore, with Rs 120 crore earned in the second week alone. How did Ahaan Pandey break Shah Rukh Khan's record? As soon as Saiyaara entered the Rs 200 crore club at the domestic box office, it broke the records of Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 , Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. But now, Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's film has even surpassed the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. This film by the newcomers has broken the record of one of KSRK's blockbuster romantic hits. Saiyaara overtakes Chennai Express Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's 2013 film Chennai Express was a blockbuster. The film directed by Rohit Shetty had recorded a collection of Rs 227 crore at the box office over its weeks-long run, but Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's film has now broken this record. Of course, reaching that figure nearly 12 years ago was a significant achievement, but Saiyaara is also expected to post a considerably higher total by the end of its run.
