Last Updated:
Urvashi Rautela wore a black gown at Cannes, which tore due to an abrupt car stop to save a 70-year-old woman. She called it a "vision of artistry".
Urvashi Rautela wore a black gown to the screening of the Brazilian film O Agente Secreto at Cannes on May 18. On the red carpet, fans noticed something unusual when she lifted her hand to wave at the cameras. Fans were quick to notice a wardrobe malfunction, where a small tear appeared in her outfit near the underarm. This went viral, with netizens calling her the 'first Indian woman to wear a torn dress at the French Riviera". Urvashi, who had been tight-lipped about the incident, finally revealed how her outfit got a tear.
Urvashi Rautela told IANS that her outfit tore while her car's driver halted abruptly while trying to save a 70-year-old woman cross the road safely. She referred to her outfit tear as 'vision of artistry" for it told a story of humanity.
She said, 'My dear fans, let me share a story that redefined our red-carpet journey. As we hurried toward the event, our car came to a sudden stop elderly 70-year-old woman, full of life's wisdom, crossed our path. Our driver's swift action to protect her sent us lurching forward, and my gown, a vision of artistry, paid the price with a tear. Yet, in that moment, I felt not loss but gratitude for her safety, for our survival, and for the chance to walk the red carpet with a story worth telling."
The Daaku Maharaaj actor added, 'True strength lies in perspective and in shaping our narrative. I choose to weave this tale not of a torn dress but of a heart intact, a spirit unbroken, and a commitment to shine for my nation. Fortune favors the bold, and I chose to step onto that carpet, not as a victim of circumstance but as a queen of resolve. We celebrate a life spared. Let's raise a toast to priorities that outshine any spotlight."

She then mentioned, 'En route to the event, our car came to an abrupt halt to protect a 70-year-old soul crossing our path. The force of that moment, a collision of duty and destiny, left my gown a masterpiece of craftsmanship bearing the scars of a higher purpose. True leadership is not in flawless presentation but in the wisdom to prioritize humanity over vanity. I walked the red carpet not as a vision of perfection but as a testament to resilience, carrying the pride of my nation and the lessons of that fleeting moment. To those who jest, I offer a smile and a truth: elegance is not in the fabric we wear but in the choices we make."
Meanwhile, another video featuring Urvashi Rautela with new BFF in town Orry from Cannes has been going viral. It showed the actor dance to the Dabidi Dabidi song with Orry, while playing around with her gown. Fans were quick to speculate whether that was the reason behind the wardrobe malfunction. However, we now know the story.

Vikrant Massey REACTS To Prithviraj Chauhan Show: 'He Was Never Truly Defeated'
Last Updated: Vikrant Massey praises Sony TV's Prithviraj Chauhan show, calls the king a timeless hero and questions misleading historical narratives about his defeat by Ghori. Actor Vikrant Massey, known for his powerful performances in both television and film, has recently opened up about his deep connection with Indian history—especially the legacy of warrior-king Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. Inspired by the promo of Sony TV's upcoming historical show Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, Massey took to Instagram to express his thoughts on the misunderstood narratives around one of India's greatest rulers. Massey, who began his acting career with TV shows like Balika Vadhu and has since transitioned into acclaimed films such as 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report, revealed that history has long been a personal passion. 'Very few people know that history has always been my favorite subject," he shared. 'Even today, I read history books simply out of interest—because to understand the present, it is essential to understand the past." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikrant Massey (@vikrantmassey) Commenting on the promo of the new series, Massey addressed the long-contested story of Prithviraj Chauhan's conflict with Mohammad Ghori. 'Who says that Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Mohammad Ghori?" he questioned. 'Chauhan defeated Ghori multiple times and spared his life every time. It was only when Ghori used deceit that he succeeded. He captured Chauhan, blinded him, and had him killed in an inhumane manner." The actor went on to challenge commonly accepted historical narratives. 'Books may say, and our neighboring country may believe, that Ghori defeated Chauhan. But that's not the full truth. A nation or civilization doesn't fall in a day—it takes centuries. And even now, nearly 1,000 years later, India thrives. On the other hand, Ghori's own land, Ghor, is among the most underdeveloped in the world." With great pride, Massey concluded, 'Prithviraj still lives on. We are proud of him. But in Ghori's country, no one even speaks his name." Massey's impassioned reflection has added to the anticipation around Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, which promises to bring alive a defining era of Indian history. Airing Monday to Friday at 7:30 PM on Sony TV and streaming on Sony LIV, the show offers a compelling look into the life, battles, and undying spirit of the legendary Rajput king. First Published:
