Indian actress Urvashi Rautela has clapped back at trolls for comparing her Cannes Film Festival 2025 red carpet look to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's prior appearance at the uber-popular event. Taking to Instagram, the 'Daaku Maharaj' actress shared a screenshot highlighting a comment where one troll accused her of “trying to be Aishwarya Rai with 0 charisma.” Urvashi Rautela did not hold back as she minced no words in calling out the trolls.
“So apparently I'm ‘trying to be Aishwarya Rai with 0 charisma'? Darling... Aishwarya is iconic. But I'm not here to be anyone's duplicate. I'm the blueprint. Cannes didn't invite me to blend in, I came to stand out. If my look, my style, or my confidence makes you uncomfortable... maybe take a deep breath (or two). I'm not everyone's cup of tea - I'm more like champagne with fireworks,” she wrote on Instagram.
“And charisma? Sweetheart, if you could measure it, I'd break the scale. To all the keyboard critics – keep talking. To all the queens owning their space - keep slaying,” she added.
She signed off the post with a note for herself, saying, “To myself - keep shining, because no one does it like you.”

Earlier, Urvashi Rautela had also slammed fashion watchdog Diet Sabya, when the latter had called her out for allegedly blocking a hotel staircase during a Cannes photoshoot.
“I rise with unyielding strength against the cowardly lies of Diet Sabya, a faceless page that dares to falsely claim I blocked a staircase. Let the truth reign: my team secured full permission for a photoshoot on a designated staircase, as did others, in strict adherence to every rule of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, which I honour with unwavering respect,” she wrote.
“Their (Diet Sabya's) baseless narratives target those, like me, who elevate India's pride on the global stage. I have blocked and reported this irrelevant entity, and I call on all to dismiss their envious slander. My charisma, forged through relentless dedication and international acclaim, remains untouchable. No one not Diet Sabya, nor their petty lies can dim the light of Urvashi Rautela, a force that leads and inspires. No matter how hard you troll me we will never pay you like others #paidtrolls With unbreakable resolve, Urvashi Rautela,” she added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Urvashi Rautela recently featured in ‘Daaku Maharaaj’. The movie, also starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath, arrived on Netflix after a successful run in theatres.
‘Daaku Maharaaj’, directed by Bobby Kolli, received massive backlash for its song ‘Dabidi Dibidi’, featuring Urvashi Rautela and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Still, the film performed well at the box office, collecting Rs 90 crore in India and Rs 125.8 crore worldwide, according to trade website Sacnilk.
