Urvashi Rautela roasts herself in hilarious self-aware ad about being 1st; fans say ‘she understood the assignment'
Urvashi Rautela has once again created a buzz on social media, but this time, not for her red carpet appearance or a cryptic remark. The Bollywood actor is now calling herself the 'first person after Shri Pythagoras ji to contribute to maths' in a hilariously self-aware mock interview ad, and the internet is loving it. In a new ad, Urvashi Rautela portrays a comically exaggerated financial expert, showcasing her ability to turn negativity into viral content. Urvashi pokes fun at herself in new ad In the new KFC ad, Urvashi plays an exaggerated version of herself, a delusional, overconfident financial guru spouting outlandish claims. From solving a new math problem, which doubled her finances, to declaring that she owns a bank and is on Warren Buffett's radar, who is telling her she is the next finance minister now, the satire is deliberate and sharp. At one point, her assistant brings her food midway through the interview, prompting her to casually suggest launching 'UFC – Urvashi Fried Chicken.' Even her beloved Labubu dolls, which previously accompanied her to Wimbledon, make a cheeky cameo. Internet reacts What's winning fans over, however, is the strategy behind the humour. Rather than shy away from trolling, Urvashi leans into the absurdity, embracing her online image and flipping the narrative in her favour. Fans were quick to catch on. 'She was trolling y'all all this freakin' time! Such an icon,' one user wrote. Another said, 'Finally, she understood the assignment!' Others praised her for being a 'marketing genius' and turning negative publicity into viral brilliance. "Great strategy. Did you propose this to KFC, or did their marketing people do?" asked a fan. A fan wrote, "Using her trolling to her merit!!! I love this queen". 'When people roast you for something, you use the roast in your own favour,' a comment read. Urvashi's latest projects Urvashi was seen in the Telugu film Daaku Maharaaj alongside Balakrishna and Sanjay Dutt in January. She also starred in Jaat with Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda, which was released in April this year.

Urvashi Rautela turns trolling into triumph in her new KFC Ad
Urvashi Rautela has flipped internet trolling into her biggest triumph yet—with the help of KFC's latest ad campaign. In a now‑viral Instagram reel, she plays a mock financial guru and cheekily declares: 'After Shri Pythagoras ji, I'm the first Indian to contribute to maths.' By leaning into trolling about her intelligence, Urvashi transforms it into self‑parody and endearing the ad, she pitch‑forks the KFC Epic Savers meal deal—nine pieces of chicken for ₹299—as her ultimate financial wisdom: 'Money saved is money earned.' Her assistant sheepishly presents the food, prompting her to float the idea of launching 'UFC—Urvashi Fried Chicken.' Rather than shying away from mockery, Urvashi embraces it head-on—becoming the maths icon' the internet joked she wasn't—and turning skeptics into fans. A masterclass in owning the narrative with humour and style. Read More

Video: Fliers Agitated Over IndiGo Take-Off Delay, Air Hostess Folds Hands
Mumbai: Chaotic scenes played out onboard an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Varanasi last night after checks on the aircraft delayed take-off by two hours. In a video that has since circulated on social media, fliers are asking when the flight will take off as the cabin crew requests them to remain seated. At one point, an air hostess also folds her hands and requests a passenger to take his seat as he protests the delay.

With air travel prices witnessing significant hikes post-Covid, safety concerns are now triggering passengers.

"Your flight is not taking off for the past one hour, sounds are coming and you are telling us that shooting a video is not allowed," a flier is heard saying. "Does our life have no value?" asks another. The air hostess then folds her hands and says, "All the tests on the aircraft have been completed." This angers the passengers more. "You are running the tests after making the passengers board the plane? What if something happens in the air? Who will take that risk?" says a passenger. Several passengers are seen recording videos and questioning the cabin crew, "You guys expect us to cooperate with you. You guys should also cooperate with us. Arrange an alternate solution," a passenger is heard saying. The woman pilot of the aircraft is seen asking the agitated passengers to take their seats. "Let's talk, but please sit down. We will not close the door till you are satisfied, but please sit down. Let us clarify all the doubts." View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Varanasi News (@thevaranasinews) Another video shows the pilot, Captain Urvashi, assuring the passengers that they had delayed take-off so that every system is checked thoroughly.
