NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela has once again stirred up social media with her latest comments on Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah, as a viral video captured her response to tricky questions regarding Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant and Naseem Shah.
Last year, Rautela had sparked a debate on social media when she extended birthday wishes to the Pakistani pacer, drawing attention to their social media interactions. She further fueled speculation by sharing a fan-made video featuring herself and Naseem Shah on her official Instagram handle.
In the recent viral video, Rautela was seen responding to various questions posed by an anchor, including queries about her rumored connections with Pant and Shah.
When asked about a comment suggesting that Rishabh Pant respects her and fans would be happy if she married him, Rautela opted not to comment on the matter.
However, when prompted to choose a hashtag for Naseem Shah, the actress quipped, ‘#Bowler,’ implying a straightforward recognition of his profession as a cricketer.
The anchor noted Shah’s popularity in both India and Pakistan, attributing it to his good looks. Rautela, in response, emphasized the importance of performance over appearance, stating, “As long as you are doing the job, it’s fine.”
Regarding Shah’s growing fan base and status as a ‘crush’ among girls, Rautela simply acknowledged the observation with a smile.
In a previous statement, Naseem Shah had expressed his focus solely on cricket, stating that he was unaware of Urvashi Rautela’s identity and preferred to concentrate on his matches. Despite the attention he receives from fans, Shah remains grounded and grateful for the support he receives from cricket enthusiasts.
