“I am so busy promoting my ₹105 crore film Daaku Maharaaj. Where do I have time for a vacation? I wish I had time for a vacation. Literally, see, I am doing my vacation with you (the interviewer),” she quipped, brushing aside speculation surrounding the AI-generated photos.

A controversial past between Urvashi Rautela and Rishabh Pant
The AI-generated images have reignited discussions about Rautela and Pant’s rumoured past. In an earlier interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rautela shared a story involving a certain “RP,” widely speculated to be Pant. She claimed that he had once waited for her in a Delhi hotel lobby for 10 hours to meet her.
“I was in Delhi and arrived late at night. Mr. RP came to the hotel to meet me, but I slept. He waited for 10 hours and called me 16-17 times. I promised to meet him in Mumbai, and when our meeting happened, a lot of drama was created by the paps and all,” she had revealed.
Pant’s new chapter in the IPL
On the cricketing front, Pant continues to make headlines for his exceptional career achievements. The Indian wicket-keeper was recently named the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the IPL 2025 season. Pant’s appointment came after the franchise secured him for a record-breaking ₹27 crore during the IPL mega auction, making him the most expensive player in the tournament’s history.
Pant’s leadership appointment marks a new chapter for the talented cricketer, who has been a vital part of the Indian cricket team across all formats. The move is seen as a significant step forward for LSG, who are banking on Pant’s aggressive style of play and dynamic decision-making skills to bring them their first IPL trophy.
A balancing act between cricket and cinema
While Pant gears up for a challenging IPL season as captain of LSG, Rautela is deeply engrossed in promoting her film ‘Daaku Maharaaj.’ The movie, boasting a budget of ₹105 crore, is touted to be one of the biggest releases of her career, keeping her schedule packed with promotional events and media interactions.
Despite the media frenzy surrounding their AI-generated images and past comments, both stars have opted to let their professional endeavours take centre stage. Whether the viral photos were a harmless digital creation or a catalyst for renewed speculation, they’ve certainly added another layer of intrigue to the lives of two of India’s most talked-about personalities.
