Actor Urvashi Rautela has stirred up a social media storm after posting a throwback selfie with Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio, claiming he referred to her as the “Queen of Cannes.”
The photo, reportedly taken during their 2022 meeting at the Cannes Film Festival, was shared on Urvashi’s Instagram on Thursday. She captioned the post:
“When Leonardo DiCaprio calls you the Queen of Cannes! Thank you, Leo… now that’s a Titanic compliment.”
While some fans celebrated the post, others questioned the authenticity of the claim, sparking mixed reactions online.
This isn’t the first time Urvashi has claimed praise from DiCaprio—she made similar assertions in 2022, which were widely scrutinized at the time. The renewed post has invited both admiration and mockery, with many calling it a publicity stunt.
Comments ranged from playful jabs to critical remarks, with one user asking, “Does Leo know that he called you the Queen of Cannes?” Another wrote, “If self-obsession was a person…”
Socialite Orry, a known friend of Urvashi, also chimed in, cheekily writing:
“What do u mean when he calls u queen of Cannes? U are the queen of Cannes. What else is he meant to do?”
Urvashi, who attended Cannes 2025 in a personal capacity, made headlines earlier this month for her bold red carpet fashion, including a ripped gown, a bra-necklace bag, and a parrot clutch.
Despite the online backlash, the actor remains in the spotlight, though the validity of her Cannes claims remains a topic of debate.
