Urvashi Rautela claps back at Diet Sabya for targeting those ‘elevating India’s pride on the global stage’: ‘You thrive on venomous attacks against outsiders’

In a lengthy note on social media, Urvashi wrote, “To my global fans & supporters, the Cannes Festival community, and champions of truth, 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 also maintained that the Diet Sabya page on Instagram was trying to pull down those trying to “elevate India’s pride on the global stage”. Urvashi also called on netizens to boycott the page. The actor continued, “Diet Sabya, a cheap imitation of Diet Prada, lacks even an ounce of originality, thriving only on venomous attacks against hardworking outsiders who dare to shine. Their 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.”

Here too, Urvashi did not refrain from tooting her own horn and noted, “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.”

The issue began after Diet Sabya posted a video of Urvashi Rautela purportedly blocking others on a staircase. “Not the First Lady blocking everyone’s way for her photo op,” read the text on the video, while the account sarcastically dubbed her “the first woman of the world” in the description box. In another carousel post, the page claimed she “hogged the (Cannes) red carpet and was asked to leave.”

Responding to the Daaku Maharaaj actor via Instagram Stories, Diet Sabya shared a meme of a TikToker eye-rolling and then bursting into laughter. “Oh no, what will I do now? She’s coming for me,” read another post. The account also quipped: “Charisma. Uniqueness. Nerve. Talent. Global. Superstar. Pride. Fans. First Woman. Triple. Miss Universe. Dubai Visa Etc.”

In another post, Urvashi Rautela called out a news article that claimed that she was “trying to be Aishwarya Rai with 0 charisma”. Pointing out that Aishwarya was “iconic”, Urvashi maintained that she, however, does not intend to be anyone’s duplicate. “I’m the blueprint,” she said. “And charisma? Sweetheart, if you could measure it, I’d break the scale,” the actor added.
