Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant and Bollywood actress-model Urvashi Rautela’s relationship has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and controversy. The former Miss India Universe and cricketer were rumored to be dating a few years ago, but the relationship ended amid drama and controversies.
The situation intensified when Rautela publicly discussed her past with Pant in one of the interviews, and it sparked huge controversy with the alleged ex-couple indirectly trolling each other on social media. Later, Rautela publicly apologized to Pant on the sidelines of an event.
Urvashi Rautela revives Rishabh Pant drama with latest Instagram post
The gorgeous diva has many times expressed her interest in the Indian cricket team star, but Pant was done with Rautela and maintained a low profile, avoiding public comment on her. Well, Urvashi has yet again tried to grab attention by indirectly involving Pant in her latest Instagram story.
Actually, Rautela has stirred up buzz on social media with an indirect reference to Pant on her Instagram account. To promote her latest film ‘Ghuspaithiya’, the actress cleverly inserted an AI-generated video into her Instagram Stories, which is now trending on the internet.
This edited clip features Rautela mimicking Pant’s iconic reverse scoop shot from the T20 World Cup 2024 group match against Ireland’s Barry McCarthy in New York. Pant’s stunning six clinched India’s first win in the T20 World Cup 2024, which the Men in Blue eventually won in Barbados in June 2024.
By using this trick, Rautela not only promoted her film but also reignited public interest in her past link with the Indian cricketer. The actress shared the video on her Instagram story on August 10, and she can be seen wearing an orange dress.

The rumors about Pant and Urvashi dating first surfaced in 2018 when they were spotted together on a dinner date in Mumbai, fueling speculation of a romance. However, Pant quashed the rumors entirely by sharing a vacation photo with his then-girlfriend Isha Negi in 2019.
Despite this, when Pant faced a severe car accident in 2022, Urvashi publicly praised him as ‘India’s pride’ and expressed her wishes for his swift recovery following their social media spat.
