With an unexpected arrival, Bollywood diva Urvashi Rautela has stirred the pot once more in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo. She’s back in the headlines, sharing the limelight with Pakistan’s cricket prodigy, Naseem Shah.
The cricket ace has been stationed in Colombo for a test series. Meanwhile, Urvashi Rautela graced the city with her presence, causing a resurgence of buzz around their names.
Seeds of this tittle-tattle were sown when Rautela took to Instagram. She posted a picture of a bouquet, courtesy of her hotel staff. The whiff of the flowers didn’t stay confined to Instagram; it wafted its way into Pakistani Twitter circles.
In an interesting juxtaposition, Pakistani netizens put forth an image of Naseem Shah, conveniently obscured by a kitbag, alongside Rautela’s floral Instagram snapshot.
Inquisitive Twitteratti started connecting the dots. One user threw a question into the ether, casting doubt on Rautela’s motives behind her Sri Lankan jaunt, coinciding with Shah’s stay.
In a candid tweet, he expressed, “Jokes aside, but for what purpose has Urvashi gone to Colombo, I am actually afraid.”

Another user shared Rautela’s post, subtly hinting at her continued involvement with Shah, “Oh my God… Ye #NaseemShah ki pecha Nahi chorhni wali.”
Oh my God 🤐

There was a silver lining to this drama for some, with a few even crediting Rautela’s presence for Shah’s on-field brilliance.

This peculiar saga traces its roots back to the Asia Cup 2022, where Rautela shared a fan-edited video of a Pakistan-India match in Dubai. It began with a smiling Shah, followed by a mirrored grin from Rautela, culminating in a shared moment of camaraderie. The narrative is now continuing, creating ripples across social media channels.
