Virat Kohli is more than a cricket personality. The former Indian skipper has millions of admirers and followers all around the globe spanning within and beyond the cricketing world. In every sense, Kohli is the true icon of the modern age. However, the 36-year-old is time and again matched by his rivals both on and off the pitch.
This time the rivalry that Kohli is facing is not related to the leaps and bounds of the cricket field but from the pomp and glory of the show world. Kohli’s rival, while away from the dynamics of the game, is a queen of the world of glamour.
Urvashi Rautela declares herself more popular than Virat Kohli
The diva trying to outmatch Kohli is India’s famed actress and model Urvashi Rautela, who is celebrating the success of her latest film ‘Daaku Maharaaj’. Entertainment broadcaster Zoom TV captured Rautela and posted on their Instagram story recently with the caption ‘Seems like it already is your year Urvashi.’
In response, Rautela re-posted the content on her Instagram story with her photo and added, “Urvashi Rautela created history. First actress of 2025 to hit fastest 156+ crores with daaku maharaaj and her popularity has taken over Virat Kohli and Modi.”
This self-proclaimed declaration from the ace actress has sparked controversy in the cricketing and cinematic world. While some refer to it as her confidence and self-love, others call her egoistic to draw parallels from the legendary Indian cricketer and Prime Minister of the country.

Rautela’s previous links with Rishabh Pant
This is not the first time that the Indian beauty has clashed with an Indian cricketer in a show of her popularity. Rautela and star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant‘s alleged relationship has been a subject of media attention for some time, with both celebrities being frequently linked in the press. The rumors about their relationship started circulating a few years ago, fueled by social media posts, public appearances, and cryptic comments from both sides. However, neither Rautela nor Pant have ever officially confirmed or denied any romantic involvement.
