One comment read, 'I'm sorry, she has nooooo manners whatsoever. She's representing India, unfortunately, and behaving like that isn't getting anyone anywhere.' Another added, 'Secondhand embarrassment.' A user commented, 'It's called basic courtesy! Clearly, she doesn't have it! Stepping aside and saying 'please pass through' isn't going to kill anyone.' Someone else joked, 'Mata Urvashi in her mandir ki seedhiyaan.' Another wrote, 'It's too embarrassing now; she should stop it.' One user remarked, 'Guts and lots of unethical behaviour... also, ignorance at its peak.'
For her latest red carpet appearance at Cannes, Urvashi wore a golden embellished gown with dramatic sleeves, completing the look with a gold bustier-style bikini and a diamond bag. Earlier, the actor made headlines after suffering a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet. While waving and posing in a black gown, a noticeable hole in her outfit sparked reactions online. While some sympathised with her, others labelled it a publicity stunt.
Urvashi was most recently seen in a special dance number in the film Jaat. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the film starred Sunny Deol, Regina Cassandra and Randeep Hooda in lead roles. The action film received a mixed response and earned only ₹118 crore at the global box office. She will next appear in the romantic-horror film Kasoor 2, alongside Aftab Shivdasani.
