In a rather unexpected turn of events, Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela found herself at the receiving end of social media trolling after she posted a video on Instagram that showcased her being admitted to a hospital for what appeared to be a minor cut on her finger. With her 73 million followers on Instagram, Urvashi has a significant online presence, making any controversial activity quickly go viral. The video in question showed a close-up of her finger with visible blood, followed by scenes of her sitting on a hospital chair with an oxygen mask on, shrouded in a white robe and absorbed in a book.
Rautela’s post was captioned succinctly yet evocatively: “PRAY FOR ME”. Within one hour of posting, the video had already been viewed 2.4 million times, a testament to her colossal social media influence. However, despite the rapid engagement, the feedback from netizens was far from sympathetic. The comment section was flooded with sarcastic and caustic remarks that ridiculed the actress for what many perceived as an exaggerated reaction to a minor injury.
One user mockingly proclaimed, “First Indian woman to be admitted to a hospital after a small cut on the finger,” while another jested, “Surgery needed.” These were just a few of the sardonic comments that highlighted the overall sentiment of the audience. Other contributions to the growing thread of ridicule included phrases like “Urvashi, Urvashi, take it easy Urvashi,” “Overacting ki dukan,” and “Aree kaafi khoon beh gaya, donor to nahi chahiye?” In a rather stinging note, another follower wished for her “slower recovery.”
This incident has cast a long shadow over Rautela’s otherwise illustrious career. She began her journey in the limelight by winning the title of ‘Miss Diva – Miss Universe India’ in 2015 and launched her modelling career at the tender age of 15. Eventually transitioning into the film industry, Urvashi debuted in the 2013 action film ‘Singh Saab the Great,’ directed by Anil Sharma and co-starring Sunny Deol, Amrita Rao, and Prakash Raj. The same year, she made her Kannada debut with the action film ‘Mr Airavata,’ crafted by A.
. P. Arjun and produced by Sandesh Nagaraj. This film also featured notable actors like Darshan and Prakash Raj.
Aside from her acting prowess, Urvashi Rautela has made special appearances in memorable songs like ‘Daddy Mummy’ from the film ‘Bhaag Johnny,’ starring Kunal Khemu, Mandana Karimi, and Zoa Morani. Urvashi’s filmography includes a diverse array of roles in movies like ‘Sanam Re’, ‘Great Grand Masti’, ‘Hate Story 4’, ‘Pagalpanti’, and the dramatic ‘Jahangir National University.’
Most recently, she appeared in the crime drama ‘Ghuspaithiya,’ a Hindi remake of the Tamil film ‘Thiruttu Payale 2,’ under the direction of Susi Ganesan. The film featured actors Vineet Kumar Singh and Akshay Oberoi in pivotal roles. Looking ahead, Rautela’s project pipeline brims with intriguing titles such as ‘NBK109’, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, and ‘Kasoor 2′.
While the trolling incident is an unfortunate pothole in her career, it serves to spotlight the ever-vigilant and often harsh world of social media where celebrities’ every action is scrutinized. Urvashi Rautela, despite this wave of negative publicity, holds an impressive career trajectory that attests to her talent and hard work in the Indian entertainment industry.
It remains to be seen how this incident will affect her public image in the long term, but if history is any guide, Bollywood stars typically weather such storms with resilience. From the current predicament, Rautela could either emerge more connected to her followers by sharing her vulnerability or potentially more guarded against the whims of netizen criticisms.
