Their fight by sharing posts and Instagram stories dissing each other and then deleting them later made a lot of commotion on the internet.

Urvashi Rautela was even called a stalker when she was spotted in Australia while Rishabh was present there before the World Cup. To clear her name, Urvashi shared her pictures from the trip suggesting that she was not in the same city as Rishabh. She wrote,

“No one cares about me or supports me,”

Urvashi’s controversial statement where she mentioned ”Mr. RP”

Urvashi stated in an interview,

“I was shooting in Varanasi, and I had a show in New Delhi thereon, so I had to take a flight. In New Delhi, I was shooting a full day, and after about 10 hours of shooting, when I went back, I had to get ready, and you know that girls take a lot of time to get ready. Mr. RP came, he sat in the lobby, and waited for me, and he wanted to meet. I was so tired that I dozed off to sleep, and I didn’t realize that I had received so many calls,”

She also added,

“So, when I woke up, I saw 16-17 missed calls and then I felt so bad. That, someone, was waiting for me and I didn’t go. Out of respect, because a lot of girls don’t care about making someone wait, out of that show of respect, I told him that let’s meet when you’ll come to Mumbai,”  Mumbai aaye and mile, and bahar aate hi paps and all were there. It’s very important to give respect to the other person but I feel like media kisi bhi cheez ko, joh develop hone waali ho, pura kharab kar deti hai.”

This triggered a response from Rishabh Pant who indirectly posted a story on his Instagram account and deleted it later.

In spite of being trolled brutally, Urvashi never commented on who she implied by Mr. RP in the interview, until now.

Finally, she opened up about the exclusive chat in the interview and revealed who the real RP is,

She said that she was unaware that people would misinterpret things like that. On clarifying who Mr. RP is, she said,

“RP is my co-actor and stands for Ram Pothineni. I was not even aware that Rishabh Pant is also known as RP,”

The actor also said that half of the things that were said about her are totally wrong. She added,

“People just assume stuff and write about it. And to those believing in such rumours, I’d say they need to analyse a little. If you haven’t seen anything, or just because some Youtuber or for that matter anyone is saying something, how can you simply believe it?”

Being bullied and mocked on the internet, Rautela stated,

“We always see comparisons being made that cricketers have way more respect than actors, or that they earn more than actors, and that bothers me a lot. I do understand that they play for the country, and are loved and respected largely, but actors as well have done so much. They’ve also represented the country. I myself have done that so many times. But I don’t like these silly comparisons.”

The actress also opened up about the clip that showed people shouting her and Rishabh Pant’s name

Rautela revealed that it made her extremely uncomfortable. She called that behavior “worrisome”, she also added,

“Anybody who’s representing the country needs to be respected. People can’t treat them like a commodity. They can’t behave like gali-mohalle ke log. That’s what I call invading privacy and I don’t appreciate this.”

When she was asked why she chose to stay quiet for so long and never openly addressed the controversy or convey her side of the story, Rautela stated that she’s a very reserved person and doesn’t care much about what people say about her. By implying that she wants to be known for her work and not such controversies. She said,

“Trolling has become a way of life. It’s a trend that’s going on and everybody becomes a target of it. Everyone has to go through it, including the Prime Minister. But I believe, in life, there are way more important things to be stressing about and so I prefer to focus on work and worry about what to do on the professional front,”

Do you believe that Mr. RP was not Rishabh Pant? Let us know in the comments.
