In June 2024, Urvashi Rautela became embroiled in controversy after a private bathroom video of hers was leaked online, sparking a debate on social media about whether it was a violation of privacy or a publicity stunt and now the Daku Maharaj actress has finally revealed the reason for it.
It was earlier mentioned that phone call recording between Urvashi and her manager was also leaked. However, it was later clarified that the entire incident was orchestrated as a PR stunt, with the leaked bathroom scene actually being from her film Ghuspaithiya.
In a recent interview, Urvashi Rautela revealed that the leaked video was intentional, as the filmmakers had obtained her consent beforehand. She explained that the makers, facing financial difficulties and on the brink of selling their land, resorted to this controversial publicity stunt as a last-ditch effort. Urvashi further stated that the leak was meant to raise awareness, urging girls to be cautious.
In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Urvashi Rautela has finally revealed the reason for the same, stating, "Unko kuch debt aa gaya tha, aur kuch udhari wagairah mein (They had some debt and were caught up in loans and such). They had to let go of their land and all. Woh sadak pe aane wale the (They were on the verge of being out on the streets). And so, they came and discussed it with my business manager, head, and all."
“And then, they took our permission ki woh movie ka scene tha, kuch aisa special nahi kiya tha humne. Woh movie ka hi scene tha. Toh un makers ka yeh ek request thi ki kya hum isko pehle leak out kar sakte hain. And it was sort of awareness also ki ladkiyon ko have to be careful [it was a scene from the movie; it wasn’t something special we had done. It was part of the movie itself. The makers requested if they could release it early. It was also intended to create awareness, especially for girls to be cautious]."
