Urmila Matondkar, one of the style icons of Hindi films industry. She had entertained the viewers over the last 15 years with her variety of performances. She has been one of the main contributors of Ram Gopal Verma’s films. Most of his films had been related to supernatural power and horror subject matters. Urmila Matondkar had given spirited performances in those films and amused the viewers. Her performance in the film Bhoot meaning ghost requires special mention.

The "moon" refers to the period of thirty days or one month that the couple was expected to drink the mead.

Here are a few examples. *   The President's honeymoon period with the press is over. *   The honeymoon between my boss and me still continues. *   The allegations...
