Urvashi Rautela Claims Leonardo DiCaprio Called Her ‘Queen of Cannes,’ Internet Isn’t Convinced
Mumba– Actress Urvashi Rautela stirred up social media after claiming that Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio called her the “Queen of Cannes.”
Posting a series of selfies with DiCaprio on Instagram, she wrote: “When Leonardo DiCaprio calls you the Queen of Cannes! Thank you, Leo… now that’s a Titanic compliment.”
However, users flooded the comments with skepticism, questioning whether DiCaprio actually made the remark. “Does Leo know he said that?” one user quipped, while another added, “Whole other level of delusion.”
The trolling intensified as some referenced her past films and quirky red carpet appearances. One user even asked if DiCaprio praised her for Daaku Maharaj or her viral “Dabidi Dibidi” moment.
Urvashi attended the Cannes Film Festival recently, where she again found herself at the center of controversy—this time accused by fashion critic Diet Sabya of blocking a staircase for photos. She dismissed the claims as “cowardly lies,” accusing the critic of targeting self-made outsiders.
Known for her bold fashion choices—including a parrot-shaped handbag and a gown that appeared torn—Urvashi continues to attract both attention and ridicule online.
