Urvashi Rautela's "Chotu Bhaiya Should Play Bat Ball" Response After Rishabh Pant's Deleted Post

"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," Rishabh Pant wrote in a now-deleted post.

Model-actress Urvashi Rautela and cricketer Rishabh Pant are main characters on the Internet this week after taking oblique pot shots, seemingly at each other. In an elliptical Instagram post shared late last night, Urvashi wrote: "Chotu bhaiya should play bat ball. Main koi munni badnaam nahi hoon badnam hone with young kiddo darling tere liye (I won't be shamed because of a kid like you)." She added the hashtags #RPChotuBhaiyya, #DontTakeAdvantageOfASilentGirl and the somewhat baffling #CougarHunter. While Urvashi's words, taken from the Dabangg song Munni Badnaam Huyi, are clearly meant to reject any romantic implications on the part of the unnamed "Chotu Bhaiyaa" or "RP," it's unclear if Urvashi is referring to herself as a "cougar" which is a pop culture term for older women seeking out younger men as romantic partners.

Urvashi's riposte, if it can be called such, is believed to be her response to an Instagram Story posed and then deleted by Rishabh Pant yesterday. In it, he wrote: "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." He hashtagged the post #merapichachorhoBehen and #Jhutkibhilimithotihai.
