Her interviews are often a topic of discussion that leaves her in the middle of social media backlash.

The actress finally spoke out about the remark, addressing the criticism directly.
Urvashi Rautela made headlines for her tone-deaf attitude when asked about Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s attack.
Saif Ali Khan faced a knife attack by an intruder in his residence on January 16, 2025. In an interview, when the interviewer discussed the attack with Urvashi, the actress ignored the question. She talked about her recent film Daaku Maharaaj’s collection, a diamond-studded Rolex gifted by her mother, and a mini watch ring gifted by her father. Netizens questioned her intelligence after the interview went viral on social media.
In a new interview with Instant Bollywood, Urvashi addressed being called ‘beauty without brains’ by some people.
In her response, Urvashi emphasized that even the most prominent personalities in India can become victims of criticism, such as the Prime Minister and Bollywood superstars. She indirectly compared herself to Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who also get trolled occasionally.
After Urvashi’s clarification statement, netizens started criticizing her for comparing herself to Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. The video of her interview, which went viral, prompted several people to call her ‘Beauty With No Brains’.
The tone-deaf attitude of the actress, particularly in the context of the incident, her apparent lack of concern for the actor, and her insensitive remarks, attracted trolls and controversy.
Additionally, in an interview with Filmfare, she revealed that she gave the interview immediately after the incident and felt exhausted due to her busy schedule. She said that the question about Saif Ali Khan caught her off guard because the attack happened at 4 am. She added that she was still processing the news. Urvashi also shared that she was unaware of the gravity of the incident involving Saif Ali Khan, which resulted in the controversy. She also shared that she spoke about her parents’ gifts out of excitement and that it was a moment of misplaced enthusiasm and not an attempt to ‘show off’.
