The actor posted the photo on Instagram, calling it proof of DiCaprio’s compliment during their alleged meeting at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.;
Actor Urvashi Rautela has once again stirred up a social media storm—this time with a surprise selfie featuring Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio. Sharing the throwback photo on Instagram, Urvashi claimed that Leo called her the “Queen of Cannes,” cheekily adding, “Thank you, Leo… now that’s a Titanic compliment.”
The picture, reportedly taken during their brief encounter at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, instantly caught attention. While some fans were impressed, others weren’t so convinced. The authenticity of the photo has come under heavy scrutiny, with critics questioning the legitimacy of the claim and accusing the actor of fishing for attention.
This isn’t the first time Urvashi has made headlines for her Cannes encounters. Three years ago, she faced backlash for stating that Leonardo DiCaprio had praised her talent and appearance. With her latest post, that controversy has resurfaced—prompting a fresh wave of trolling and skepticism online.
Social media users have flooded the comments section with sarcasm and criticism. One asked, “Does Leo know he called you the Queen of Cannes?” while another quipped, “If self-obsession was a person…” Some accused her of seeking fame by exaggerating celebrity interactions, while others simply questioned whether it was really DiCaprio in the photo at all, calling him a “doppelganger” or even blaming AI manipulation.
Amidst the backlash, Urvashi’s friend Orry jumped in to defend her, commenting, “What do u mean when he calls u queen of Cannes??? U r the queen of Cannes, what else is he meant to u?”
One particularly lengthy comment called on the actor to reflect on her choices, saying, “You are only insulting yourself… the dignity of a real star is built on self-respect, not chasing the spotlight in ways that don’t suit you.”
Despite the trolling, Urvashi has remained in the spotlight for her recent appearances at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Her bold fashion choices—including a ripped gown, a parrot-shaped clutch, and a bra necklace bag—have certainly made headlines. Though she attended the festival in a personal capacity, she was spotted at multiple screenings and events.
Love her or criticize her, Urvashi Rautela knows how to stay in the limelight—and her latest post proves she has no plans to fade quietly into the background.
