In 2023, in a chat with Asian Culture Vulture, Urvashi Rautela had shared, 'I actually feel Leonardo DiCaprio has some sort of fascination with France, I don't know. I think he is lot more crazy of Cannes, because I saw him last year, he's always in Monaco, he's always in France. Right?' Back then, Urvashi was slammed by a few heartless trolls online, who accused her of mispronouncing Leonardo DiCaprio's name. Well, her selfie with the Hollywood star this year serves as a slap to those netizens who made fun of her. Along with the cute pic, Urvashi wrote in the caption, 'When Leonardo DiCaprio calls you the Queen of Cannes! 😌👑 Thank you, Leo… now that's a Titanic compliment 💋🔥 #QueenMovesOnly #QueenOfCannes #LeoAndUR #UrvashiRautela #Cannes2025 #leonardodicaprio.'
