Urvashi Rautela is an Indian actress and model known for her work in Bollywood and beauty pageants. While she has gained fame for her beauty, talent, and performances, her career has been relatively free from major controversies compared to some other celebrities. However, she has faced a few controversies and criticisms during her career:
Age Controversy: Urvashi Rautela’s age has been a topic of controversy for several years. Her official date of birth is 25 February 1994, which would make her 29 years old in 2023. However, some people believe that she is older than this, and that she has falsified her age in order to participate in beauty pageants and to advance her career in Bollywood. There are a few pieces of evidence that have been cited to support this claim. First, in 2012, Rautela was disqualified from the Miss India pageant due to concerns about her age. The pageant organizers stated that she had provided false information about her age on her application form.
Second, some people have pointed out that Rautela looks older than she claims to be. They argue that her facial features and body proportions are more consistent with someone who is in their early 30s than someone who is in their late 20s.
Third, there are some reports that Rautela has given different dates of birth on different occasions. For example, in an interview in 2015, she said that she was born in 1993. However, in a more recent interview, she said that she was born in 1994.
Rautela has denied all allegations that she has falsified her age. She has stated that she is proud of her age and that she has never tried to hide it. She has also said that she is upset by the speculation about her age, and that it is unfair to her.
Misleading Awards Claims: Urvashi Rautela has been accused of making misleading claims about her awards and achievements on several occasions. In 2021, she was called out for claiming to have won the “Miss Universe 2012” title, when in fact she only won the “Miss Universe India 2012” title.
In 2022, she was again accused of making false claims about her awards, when she claimed to have won the “Most Popular Indian Celebrity in the World” award from the “Asia Arab Awards”. However, the organizers of the “Asia Arab Awards” denied that they had ever given Urvashi this award.
Most recently, in 2023, Urvashi was accused of making misleading claims about her involvement in a Parveen Babi biopic. She claimed that she would be starring in the biopic, but industry insiders called her claims “bogus” and said that no production house had signed her on for any such project. Urvashi Rautela has denied all of these accusations, but her critics argue that her repeated pattern of making false claims about her awards and achievements is evidence of her dishonesty and lack of credibility.
Plagiarism Accusations:
Urvashi Rautela’s music videos have been accused of plagiarism multiple times, particularly her song “Love Dose.” In 2020, a French filmmaker named Mickael Benarroche accused Rautela of copying the concept and scenes from his short film “Obsession” in her music video for “Love Dose.” Benarroche filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Rautela, but the case was later settled out of court.
In addition to the “Love Dose” plagiarism allegations, Rautela has also been accused of copying scenes and concepts from other artists’ work in her music videos for songs such as “Wajah Tum Ho” and “Teri Load Ve”. It is important to note that Rautela has denied all of the plagiarism allegations against her. She has stated that her music videos are original and that she has never copied the work of other artists. However, the similarities between some of her music videos and the work of other artists are striking, and it is difficult to ignore the allegations.
Rishabh Pant Controversy: In 2022, there was a dispute involving two well-known Indian personalities: Urvashi Rautela, an actress, model, and singer, and Rishabh Pant, a famous cricketer. It all started when Rautela mentioned a “Mr. RP” who had waited for her in a hotel lobby in Delhi for a long time. She explained that she had fallen asleep in her hotel room and woke up to find 17 missed calls from this person.
Pant, who is often referred to by the initials “RP,” denied being the “Mr. RP” Rautela was talking about. He accused her of lying and suggested that she was using his name to gain attention. This led to a public back-and-forth argument between the two on social media. Rautela even called Pant “Chotu Bhaiyaa,” which means “Little Brother” in Hindi, and accused him of pursuing older women (a “cougar hunter”) and taking advantage of her.
The controversy escalated in 2023 when Rautela visited Pant in the hospital after he got injured while playing cricket. She shared a photo of their meeting on social media, which led to accusations that she was trying to benefit from his misfortune.
As a result, Pant decided to block Rautela on social media, and both of them stopped talking about the controversy publicly since then.
Controversial Outfits: Urvashi Rautela is known for wearing outfits that show a lot of skin and are different from what most people wear in public. This has caused some people to be upset with her fashion choices. For instance, in 2022, she went to the Cannes Film Festival wearing a black dress with a very low neckline and a high slit on the side. Many people didn’t like it and said she was just trying to get attention.
She’s also been criticized for wearing revealing outfits to award shows and other events. In 2021, she went to the Filmfare Awards wearing a see-through dress that showed her underwear. People thought it was too much and said it was vulgar. Apart from revealing clothes, Urvashi has also gotten criticism for wearing unusual outfits. In 2022, she went to a fashion show wearing a dress made from recycled plastic bottles. Some people liked it because it’s good for the environment, but others thought it was ugly and not practical.
Even though she’s faced criticism, Urvashi continues to wear revealing and unusual outfits. She’s said that she enjoys trying out different styles, and she doesn’t care what others think. She also believes that women should be able to wear whatever they want without being judged.
