Urvashi Rautela mistaken for Aishwarya Rai at Cannes red carpet, netizens react

Urvashi Rautela walked the red carpet on Day 1 and 2 at Cannes. Now, a video of the French papparazi mistaking the actress for Cannes reugular Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has surfaced online. The viral clip featured Urvashi in a bright orange ruffled gown as she attended the premiere of the movie Kaibutsu (Monster) on day 2 of the film festival.

Someone in the throng shouted "Aishwarya," and Urvashi turned around and grinned as she blew kisses on her way through the crowd of admirers and media. The video circulating online has received a wide range of responses. Some said that she was mimicking Aishwarya, while others seemed disappointed that Urvashi was mistaken for the Ponniyin Selvan 2 actress by the French media, in a case of mistaken identity.

Social media users reacted to the faux pas by the foreign media at Cannes. "She is following footsteps of Aishwarya so much that they are calling her Aishwarya (laughing emoji)," a netizen commented. "Hands on waist, blowing kisses to media, heart hands. She seems to be following Aishwarya religiously," said another. One more added, "All kinds of cringe on so many levels."
