When netizens reacted to Urvashi Rautela's not being on the poster of the film 

On February 16, 2025, Netflix posted the promotional poster of the film, Daaku Maharaaj, on their Instagram and shared the details of the release date. However, netizens quickly noticed that the poster only featured Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath. And Urvashi Rautela was nowhere to be seen. Along with the post, the caption read:

"We would just like to say pranaam maharaj. Watch Daaku Maharaaj, out on 21 Feb on Netflix!" 

As soon as Netflix shared the poster, netizens started meme fest, noticing Urvashi Rautela's absence. They quickly chimed in to share their opinions on the changes. One user wrote, "India's first woman to be removed from the poster of a 105+ cr film."

Urvashi Rautela received backlash for not caring about other while promoting the film

Urvashi also made headlines for the way she promoted the film without caring about the ongoing situation. During an interview with ANI, Urvashi made an insensitive comment about Saif Ali Khan's attack and kept flaunting her gifts in the media. When she was asked to give a byte on Saif Ali Khan's stabbing case, she was quoted as saying:

"It is very unfortunate. Now, Daaku Maharaaj has crossed Rs. 105 crore at the box office, and my mother gifted me this diamond-studded Rolex. In contrast, my father gifted me this mini watch on my finger, but we don’t feel confident wearing it outside openly. There is this insecurity that anybody can attack us. Whatever happened was very unfortunate."

Well, Urvashi Rautela knows how to be in the news one way or the other!
