Urvashi Rautela’s rumoured relationship with Rishabh Pant 

This is not the first time that Urvashi is making headlines for her romantic link-ups with a sport personality. Before igniting dating rumours with Karim Benzema, the actress shared her admiration for cricketer Rishabh Pant. For the unversed, Urvashi's one-sided romantic saga with Rishabh Pant, and the internet's role in it, began in 2018 when during an interview she cheekily alleged how a certain 'RP' was waiting in the lobby of a hotel to meet her. 

The reference was met with divided response from the cricketer. He wrote on social media, "It’s funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are so thirsty for fame and name. May God bless them." Seeing Urvashi share some photos with the French footballer, social media users have brought up the cricketer’s name again.
