Urvashi Rautela Controversy: Actress Urvashi Rautela recently became the focus of attention after making insensitive comments on Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident. Here are a few instances in which the Daaku Maharaaj actress made headlines for the wrong reasons.
1. Urvashi Rautela On Saif Ali Khan's Accident
Urvashi was questioned about her thoughts on the latest assault on Saif Ali Khan during an interview. She brought up her success instead of voicing worry or pity, bringing up the box office performance of her movie Daaku Maharaj and flaunting pricey presents from her parents, such as a Rolex watch and a diamond ring.
Netizens criticised her for being callous in such a severe situation when her tone-deaf and self-centred reaction went viral.
2. Urvashi Rautela Takes A Dig At Kiara Advani
The highly anticipated Game Changer, starring Kiara Advani and Ram Charan, was released at the same time as Urvashi Rautela's most recent movie, Daaku Mahaaraj. Despite its impressive hype and all-star ensemble, Game Changer did not live up to expectations and did poorly at the box office. On the other hand, viewers have been expressing their love and gratitude for Daaku Mahaaraj. During a recent interview, Urvashi Rautela subtly made fun of Kiara Advani's Game Changer.
Addressing the comparisons between her movie with Game Changer, she said," I've been reading a lot of tweets. Our film was released during the festival of Makar Sankranti, a festive time, so everyone is saying, 'Kiara’s film Game Changer is a disaster, and Urvashi's Daaku Mahaaraj turned out to be a blockbuster superhit. I'm like - 'Isme meri toh koi galti nahi hai'."

3. When Urvashi Rautela Copied Gigi Hadid's Instagram Caption
When Urvashi Rautela was sighted with Ahaan Pandey, Chunky Pndey's nephew, back in 2018, certain tabloids suggested the two were dating. An enraged Urvashi rejected the accusations on social media. Urvashi chose to copy and paste Gigi's social media post in which she discussed rumours of her affair with Zayn Malik rather than investing time in a response.
Instagram user Diet Sabya brought attention to this by posting a screenshot of both status updates on their account.

4. Urvashi Rautela-Rishabh Pant Rumoured Affair
Urvashi Rautela revealed that she had once been the target of a particular 'Mr RP,' who waited for her for hours in a hotel lobby while she was in New Delhi for an event in an interview with Bollywood Hungama. This sparked the rumours of a romance between her and Rishabh Pant. She also mentioned that after falling asleep in her hotel room, she woke up to find that Mr RP had left her seventeen missed calls. Rumours circulated on social media that she has been calling Rishabh Pant RP.
Shortly after Urvashi Rautela's interview went viral, the cricket player posted an Instagram story to elucidate the entire situation. He wrote, "It's funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are so thirsty for fame and name.” With an additional “May God bless them”, Pant ended the story with the hashtags '#merapichachorobehen' and '#jhootkibhilimithotihai.'
5. Urvashi Rautela On Dabidi Dibidi Song Backlash
Daaku Maharaaj's song Dabidi Dibidi received negative feedback on social media majorly because of Urvashi and Nandumuri Balakrishna's vast age difference. The song was also criticised for its improper dance, which many people referred to as 'vulgar.'
Urvashi Rautela addressed the criticism by describing the dance as an artistic experience and emphasising how much she admires Balakrishna as a legendary figure in Indian movies. The purpose of the performance, she underlined, was to honour the art form and their shared commitment to it. Critics, who are still split on whether the song's portrayal satisfies contemporary cinematic standards, have not been appeased by this declaration.
