The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup clash between India and Pakistan at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad witnessed the presence of several famous personalities in the stands. Bollywood star Urvashi Rautela added glamour to the event as she arrived at the stadium donning a blue outfit to support Team India. This wasn’t the first time Urvashi Rautela graced a cricket match, as she had been spotted in previous encounters, displaying her love for the sport.
While Urvashi Rautela passionately cheered for Team India, the spotlight on her garnered attention from fans. In a viral video circulating on social media, fans could be seen playfully chanting “Rishabh-Rishabh,” alluding to India’s prominent wicketkeeper-batter, Rishabh Pant. Urvashi continued waving the Indian flag, showing unwavering support for the team amid the good-natured chants.
The playful chants at the India vs. Pakistan match may have added a light-hearted touch to the sporting event, but they also brought attention to the recent exchange between Urvashi Rautela and cricketer Rishabh Pant. Both hailing from the state of Uttarakhand, the two celebrities have represented their home state in exuberant colours.
Their exchange began when Urvashi mentioned in an interview that a person named “RP” had reached out to her multiple times, and she had chosen to ignore it. This statement sparked reactions on social media, leading to a series of exchanges on Instagram stories between Pant and Rautela. While their comments created a buzz, they were not directly targeted at each other.
In the latest development, Urvashi Rautela has decided to address the controversy and extend an apology. It remains to be seen how cricketer Rishabh Pant responds to this gesture. The playful chants at the India vs. Pakistan match may have signalled the end of this friendly banter between the two Uttarakhand natives.
As the cricketing world celebrates its biggest rivalry on the field, the off-field banter between celebrities adds an extra layer of entertainment to the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan clash.
