Urvashi Rautela is making headlines again at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, but not for the right reasons. A video shows the actress blocking a hotel stairway for a photoshoot, leaving guests waiting. The internet is calling her behavior “embarrassing” and “rude.”

The viral clip, shared by fashion watchdog Diet Sabya, shows Urvashi posing in a golden embellished gown on a staircase. Guests behind her are seen waiting awkwardly as she continues her photoshoot. The caption read, โ€œNot the first lady blocking everyoneโ€™s way for her photo op.โ€

Netizens quickly reacted, criticizing her lack of basic manners. Many pointed out that she was representing India on a global platform.

“Iโ€™m sorry, she has nooooo manners whatsoever. Sheโ€™s representing India, unfortunately, and behaving like that isnโ€™t getting anyone anywhere.”

“Secondhand embarrassment.”

“Itโ€™s called basic courtesy! Clearly, she doesnโ€™t have it! Stepping aside and saying โ€˜please pass throughโ€™ isnโ€™t going to kill anyone.”

Some users even joked about the situation.

“Mata Urvashi in her mandir ki seedhiyaan.”

“Itโ€™s too embarrassing now; she should stop it.”

This isnโ€™t the first time Urvashi has caused a stir at Cannes. Earlier, she faced a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet. Her black gown had a noticeable hole near the armpit, sparking mixed reactions online. Some called it a publicity stunt, while others felt sorry for her.

She later explained that the tear happened when her car stopped suddenly to avoid hitting an elderly woman.

“True strength lies in perspective and in shaping our narrative. I choose to weave this tale not of a torn dress but of a heart intact, a spirit unbroken, and a commitment to shine for my nation.”

At Cannes 2025, Urvashi has been turning heads with her bold fashion choices. Her latest look included a gold bustier-style bikini and a diamond bag. She also carried a bra-necklace-shaped bag, which became a talking point.

Despite the controversy, some fans defended her.

“Itโ€™s her world we are just living in it.”

“Take up space queen.”

On the work front, Urvashi was last seen in the song “Touch Kiya” from Sunny Deolโ€™s film Jaat. She also played SI Janaki in Daaku Maharaaj. Her next project is the romantic-horror film Kasoor 2 with Aftab Shivdasani.

The Cannes Film Festival is known for glamour and drama, and Urvashi Rautela is certainly adding to both this year.
