Urvashi Rautela has once again stirred controversy at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, but this time it’s not for her red carpet fashion. A video that recently went viral shows the actress blocking a hotel staircase during an impromptu photoshoot, drawing sharp criticism from both guests and social media users.
Staircase Chaos Over Golden Gown
In the now-viral clip, Urvashi is seen striking poses in a heavily embellished golden gown with dramatic cape sleeves, fully occupying a grand staircase in her hotel. Her elaborate photoshoot caused visible inconvenience as several guests were stranded behind her, unable to descend without interrupting her shoot. Rather than stepping aside or acknowledging the disruption, the actress continued posing, seemingly unfazed by the growing queue of onlookers.
A guest caught smirking in the background reflected the general mood, and the video shared by fashion watchdog page Diet Sabya—quickly became a topic of online debate. Critics slammed her for lacking basic courtesy, with comments calling her behaviour “cringe,” “embarrassing,” and “disrespectful.” One user wrote, “It’s called basic manners! Clearly, she doesn’t have any.” Another added, “She’s representing India unfortunately, and behaving like that isn’t helping anyone.”

Fashion Faux Pas and More Mockery
This isn’t the only controversy surrounding Urvashi at Cannes this year. Earlier, the actress raised eyebrows with a bizarre handbag shaped like a bra-necklace hybrid, which was widely mocked online. Social media users compared it to a “Naagin costume” and “Barbie’s midlife crisis.”

To make matters worse, during a red carpet appearance, Urvashi wore a sheer black gown by Naja Saade that appeared to have a tear near her left armpit. The visible wardrobe malfunction only added to the growing list of criticisms.
As online scrutiny mounts, Urvashi’s Cannes 2025 appearances continue to spark debate—for all the wrong reasons.
