Urvashi shared that while on her way to the Cannes event, her car had to brake suddenly to avoid hitting a 70-year-old woman crossing the road. Though the quick action prevented an accident, the abrupt stop caused her intricate gown to tear.
“My dear fans, let me share a story that redefined our red-carpet journey. As we hurried toward the event, our car came to a sudden stop elderly 70-year-old woman, full of life’s wisdom, crossed our path. Our driver’s swift action to protect her sent us lurching forward, and my gown, a vision of artistry, paid the price with a tear. Yet, in that moment, I felt not loss but gratitude for her safety, for our survival, and for the chance to walk the red carpet with a story worth telling. True strength lies in perspective and in shaping our narrative. I choose to weave this tale not of a torn dress but of a heart intact, a spirit unbroken, and a commitment to shine for my nation. Fortune favors the bold, and I chose to step onto that carpet, not as a victim of circumstance but as a queen of resolve. We celebrate a life spared. Let’s raise a toast to priorities that outshine any spotlight,” said Urvashi.

The force of that moment, a collision of duty and destiny, left my gown a masterpiece of craftsmanship bearing the scars of a higher purpose. True leadership is not in flawless presentation but in the wisdom to prioritize humanity over vanity. I walked the red carpet not as a vision of perfection but as a testament to resilience, carrying the pride of my nation and the lessons of that fleeting moment. To those who jest, I offer a smile and a truth: elegance is not in the fabric we wear but in the choices we make.”
