Actor Urvashi Rautela recently apologized to Saif Ali Khan for her remarks regarding the attack he suffered at his Bandra residence. She admitted being “ignorant and insensitive” but later deleted her apology note from Instagram.
Urvashi’s Controversial Remarks
Urvashi faced backlash after discussing her diamond-studded Rolex and the success of her film Daaku Maharaaj during an interview addressing the attack on Saif. The actor was criticized for appearing out of touch with the seriousness of the situation.
Her Apology to Saif Ali Khan
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Urvashi expressed regret, writing, “Dear Saif Ali Khan sir, I hope this message finds you in strength. I am writing with a deep sense of regret and heartfelt apology. Until now, I was completely unaware of the intensity of the situation you are facing.”
She acknowledged feeling ashamed for being consumed by her professional achievements instead of empathizing with Saif’s ordeal. She added, “Your grace, dignity, and resilience during such a challenging time are truly admirable.”
Saif was attacked by an intruder at his home, suffering six stab wounds. He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital for surgery and is now recovering. The Mumbai Police has launched an extensive search, forming 35 teams to track down the assailant.
Urvashi Offers Support
Urvashi concluded her apology by offering assistance, stating,
“It is very unfortunate. Now Daaku Maharaaj has crossed Rs 105 crore at the box office, and my mother gifted me this diamond-studded Rolex, while my father gifted me this mini watch on my finger, but we don’t feel confident to wear it outside openly. There is this insecurity that anybody can attack us. Whatever happened was very unfortunate,” said Urvashi.
Social Media Reaction
Urvashi’s earlier comments did not sit well with the public. Critics labeled her remarks as disconnected and self-centered, leading to widespread trolling.
Update on Saif Ali Khan’s Case
A new photo of the attacker has emerged, and efforts to apprehend the individual are ongoing. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of celebrities in India.
Urvashi’s remarks and subsequent apology have sparked debate about sensitivity and accountability in public discourse.
