Urvashi Rautela's Latest Cannes Stunt: A Selfie with Leo, a Deluge of Memes!
NEWS RATING
The Cannes Film Festival, a beacon of cinematic glamour, often brings forth unforgettable red carpet moments. This year, while many celebrated high fashion and global cinema, one particular selfie stole the show – not just for its star power, but for the internet's hilariously skeptical reaction. Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela's Instagram post featuring Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio has ignited a wildfire of memes and sarcastic comments, leaving fans wondering: is she truly the "Queen of Cannes," or has she solidified her reign as the "Queen of Memes"?
 
The Selfie That Broke the Internet (and Sparked Debates)
In the early hours of Thursday, May 29, 2025, Urvashi Rautela took to her Instagram to share a series of dazzling selfies from her Cannes appearance. Among them was a picture alongside none other than Leonardo DiCaprio, the "Titanic" star himself. The caption, however, is what truly sent the internet into a frenzy: "When Leonardo DiCaprio calls you the Queen of Cannes! Thank you, Leo… now that's a Titanic compliment."
 
The post instantly became a viral sensation, drawing a flood of reactions from fans, influencers, and, inevitably, a barrage of witty and sarcastic comments from online trolls.
 
The Internet Reacts: A Meme Avalanche
The veracity of DiCaprio's alleged compliment quickly became the subject of widespread skepticism. Social media users, known for their sharp wit and penchant for dissecting celebrity claims, wasted no time.
  • Orry's Cheeky Quip: Internet personality Orhan Awatramani, known as Orry, was among the first to jump in with a humorous comment: "What do u mean when he calls u queen of Cannes ??? U r the queen of Cannes what else is he meant to u?? Didi?? Bhenjiii??? Urvashi Baiiii??" His playful retort quickly gained traction, setting the tone for the ensuing meme fest.
  • Skepticism and Sarcasm: Users flooded the comments section with questions like, "Does Leo know he called you the Queen of Cannes?" and "Did he compliment you for Daku Maharaj and Dabidi Dibidi?" referencing her recent film and its viral, often-mocked, song. Many implied the photo might be digitally altered or simply a desperate attempt for attention, with comments ranging from "Now AI is very dangerous" to "Whole another level of delusion."
  • The "First Indian Actress" Saga Continues: Urvashi's history of making grand, often unverified, claims about being the "first Indian actress" to achieve various feats at Cannes (like her "parrot clutch" look or alleged wardrobe malfunction) further fueled the amusement. Netizens continued this trend, jokingly remarking, "First Indian actress posting same picture" or "First woman to stand next to Leonardo DiCaprio."
Urvashi's Cannes Chronicles: A History of Viral Moments
This isn't the first time Urvashi Rautela has dominated headlines (and meme feeds) from the Cannes Film Festival. She has a well-documented history of creating buzz with her bold fashion choices and unfiltered statements.
  • The Parrot Clutch: Her elaborate, multi-colored gown paired with a crystal-encrusted, parrot-shaped clutch earlier this year sparked a separate wave of memes, with comparisons ranging from "Moulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar" to "Urvashi Rautela becomes the first Indian woman to turn into a parrot at Cannes."
  • Staircase Controversy: She also faced backlash for allegedly blocking a staircase at a Cannes hotel for a photoshoot, leading to criticism for lacking "basic manners" and generating "secondhand embarrassment."
  • "Daaku Maharaj" and "Dabidi Dibidi": Her recent film "Daaku Maharaj" and its song "Dabidi Dibidi" also became viral sensations, albeit for their over-the-top visuals and questionable choreography, further cementing her status as a meme-generator.
