Urvashi Rautela, known for her glamorous persona and outspoken nature, found herself in hot water after an interview about Saif Ali Khan’s recent stabbing incident. The actress’s remarks, which diverted attention to her personal achievements and expensive accessories, left many netizens outraged over her insensitivity.
Urvashi Shifts Focus to Her Luxury Items During Interview
In an interview with ANI, Urvashi was asked to comment on the brutal attack on Saif Ali Khan, which occurred in the early hours of January 15, 2025. While acknowledging the incident as “unfortunate,” the actress quickly steered the conversation toward her latest film, Daaku Maharaj, and the success it garnered. She went on to elaborate about the luxury gifts she received from her parents following the film’s success, including a diamond-studded Rolex watch and a mini-watch.
She mentioned feeling insecure wearing such accessories after hearing about Saif’s attack, saying:
“Daaku Maharaj ke Rs. 105 crore ke success ke baad, my mother… unhone ne mujhe gift ki diamond-studded Rolex and my father ne mujhe ye choti si mini-watch gift kari. Abhi humne 105 paar kar diya hai toh it’s just a gift, but then hum confident nahi feel karenge bahar openly. We cannot wear kuch bhi. Ek insecurity ho jati hai ki anybody can attack us toh woh bohot zyada unfortunate hai.”
When prompted by the interviewer to extend well-wishes to Saif Ali Khan and his family, Urvashi offered prayers for their recovery but failed to refocus entirely on the actor’s ordeal.
Is she mentally well?

Netizens React to Urvashi’s Comments
The clip of Urvashi’s interview quickly went viral on Reddit, drawing backlash from netizens who criticized her for prioritizing her luxury items over expressing empathy. One user commented, “A man almost died—look at my jewellery.” Another wrote, “How self-centered can someone be?”
Some responses also took a humorous turn, referencing Urvashi’s rumored ex, cricketer Rishabh Pant. One user quipped, “Accident Rishabh ka hua tha, but lagta hai chot Urvashi ke dimaag ko lagi.”
Netizens also applauded the interviewer for subtly redirecting the conversation to Saif’s condition. One user noted, “The reporter displayed more empathy than Urvashi did during the entire interview.”
Update on Saif Ali Khan’s Condition
For those unaware, Saif Ali Khan was stabbed in his Bandra home during a botched robbery attempt. The intruder left the actor with several injuries, including a 2.5-inch knife lodged in his spine, which caused spinal fluid leakage. After a successful surgery, Saif remains unconscious in the ICU under close observation.
The incident has not only highlighted Saif’s ordeal but also sparked discussions on the need for sensitivity while addressing such tragedies. Many believe Urvashi’s comments were poorly timed and reflective of misplaced priorities.
