The social media war between star Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant and Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela took a fresh turn on Sunday (August 14) after the Delhi Capitals' captain shared a cryptic post on his Instagram story. Responding to the two-time Miss Universe India's 'cougar hunter’ comment, Pant shared a post that read, “Don’t stress over what you cannot control".
The boiling controversy between the two celebrities began when Rautela, during a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, addressed Pant as ‘Mr RP’ and said that the individual has waited for her for hours in a hotel lobby in Delhi.
Since then, both Pant and Rautela have been targeting each other by posting cryptic messages on Instagram.
Pant's recent Instagram post comes after the Bollywood actress said, “Chotu Bhaiyaa should play bat ball. Main koyi Munni nahi hoon badnaam hone with young kiddo darlings tere liye @Rakshabandhan Mubarak ho #RPChtobhaiyaa #Cougarhunter #Donttakeadvantageofsilentgirl.”
Earlier, Rautela indirectly fired shots at the Indian cricketer and said, “I was shooting in Varanasi, wahan se I had a show in New Delhi, toh meri wahaan se delhi ki flight thi. In New Delhi, I was shooting full day and after about 10 hours of shooting when I went back, I had to get ready and you know that girls take a lot of time to get ready. Mr. RP came, he sat in the lobby and waited for me, and he wanted to meet. Main itni tired thi, main so gayi and I didn’t realize that I had received so many calls."
"So, when I woke up, I saw 16-17 missed calls and then I felt so bad. That someone was waiting for me and I didn’t go. Out of respect, because a lot of girls don’t care about making someone wait, out of that show of respect, I told him that let’s meet when you’ll come to Mumbai."
"Mumbai aaye and mile, and bahar aate hi paps and all were there. It’s very important to give respect to the other person but I feel like media kisi bhi cheez ko, joh develop hone waali ho, pura kharab kar deti hai," she continued.
In no time Rautela's comment went viral on social media with netizen jumping to several conclusions which ultimately forced Pant to defend himself against the indirect shots fired at him by the Bollywood beauty.
“It's funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are so thirsty for fame and name. May God bless them "merapichachorhoBehen #Jhutkibhilimithotihai,” Pant had said in an Instagram story that he later deleted while reacting to Rautela's interview.
