About Urvashi and Rishabh Pant's saga

A few days back, on Rishabh Pant's birthday, Urvashi Rautela had taken to her social media and shared a reel, blowing kisses and wishing 'Happy Birthday.'

For the unversed, Urvashi had alleged that the cricketer waited for hours in a hotel lobby to meet her and left her 16-17 missed calls. Rishabh had penned a cryptic Instagram story which read, "It's funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are thirsty for fame and name. May God bless them."

This didn't stop, as Urvashi reacted to Rishabh's post, and had posted: "Chotu bhaiyaa (younger brother) should play bat ball...main koyi munni nahi hoon badnaam hone (I am no naive girl to be defamed) with young kiddo darling tere liye #RAKSHABANDHAN mubarak ho. #RPCHOTUBHAIYYA #CougarHunter and #Don'ttakeadvantageofasilentgirl."

Her sindoor and mangalsutra look of her is for her upcoming series Inspector Avinash.

Speaking to a news portal Urvashi said, "A real-life Poonam Mishra inspires the character, and I play the wife of Randeep Hooda's character, the 'Super Cop' Avinash Mishra. Biopics are a great challenge for actors because, instead of creating a character from nothing, they have to portray a version of a real person on screen. Bringing someone else's story to life is a big responsibility, but one that also helps a real-life person's story be told."

Urvashi shared her first look from the series on her Instagram handle. She captioned the post, " It's an honor to play this super special role."

Here is the post shared by the actress:

Apart from Urvashi, Inspector Avinash also stars Randeep Hooda. Produced by Jio Studios and will be released on Netflix.

Meanwhile, the Indian team is currently training in Perth, ahead of their first match of the T20 World Cup against Pakistan on October 23.
