Urvashi Rautela made her debut on Cannes 2022 red carpet recently and as per the actress, she was praised by none other than the Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio during the film festival.
In an interview with IANS, Urvashi said, "I was freaking out and falling short of words after receiving compliments from Leonardo DiCaprio. I was so emotional and could feel happy tears in my eyes. At the same time I was blushing too. He also appreciated me as a very talented actress. I was waking up pinching myself. Did that really happen last night? Was I dreaming about the sweet moment? I think it just shows how even the younger actors want to be out there and inspires young actors to keep going, that's my memory of meeting him."
However, netizens are not believing her story and claimed that Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t even attend the film festival as there were no pictures of the actor.
"I really admire Urvashi Rautela because she don't care that she lying. She just be lying," a Twitter user wrote.
"Urvashi, please," said another Twitter user.
“leo is not even at cannes??? maybe news sites need to report that too,” one of the users wrote.
“yeah bro, #LeonardoDiCaprio definitely watched #UrvashiRautela's stellar performances in Virgin Bhanupriya, Great Grand Masti, Hate Story 4, Pagalpanti et al, like totes 🥺✊,” another user wrote.
