The war of words between superstar Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant and renowned Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela has taken a big storm, and it is fans on social media who have been having a lot of fun and poking at this as they have come up with some hilarious memes in the past couple of days.
It had previously been rumoured that there had been some history between Urvashi and Pant, but nothing concrete was available. Now – the saga has been in full flow ever since a few days ago Rautela mentioned that “Mr RP” had come to meet her during her shoot in but she couldn’t.
“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,” the actress said in a recent interview.
She further narrated, “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.”
She revealed, “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.”

Rishabh Pant was clearly unimpressed by Rautela allegedly speaking about him in such way. Pant took to his Instagram story and, without mentioning Rautela explicitly called her a liar.
“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.”
However, Pant soon after deleted his story, but by then the fans had taken a screenshot of this and it went viral.

The controversial tale continues: Next, Urvashi took to her Instagram to send a strong reply to Pant, trolling as “Chotu bhaiyaa” and a “Cougarhunter”.
“Chotu bhaiyaa should play bat ball. Main koyi munni nahi hoon badnam hone with young kiddo darling tere liyee #Rakshabandhan Mubarak ho #RPChotuBhaiyya #Cougarhunter #donttakeadvantageofasilentgirl,” Rautela wrote in her recent Instagram post.
She also pinned some of the comments from her fans and followers who mocked Pant.
There hasen’t been any more hit-back from Pant, and it is also unlikely that he will speak anything about this controversy at the moment.
But, netizens came up with funny memes most of which trolled the Bollywood actress for her insensitive post.

It is not Urvashi Rautela’s fault, most of the IITians are attention hungry by default.
