Urvashi Rautela becomes first Indian actress to buy a Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Urvashi Rautela, the Bollywood actress known for her roles in Daaku Maharaj and Sanam Re, has created a new milestone by becoming the first Indian actress to purchase a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, an ultra-luxury SUV valued at $1.45 million.

This purchase places her among an elite group of celebrities, including business magnate Mukesh Ambani, actor Shah Rukh Khan, and filmmaker Vivek Oberoi, who also own the highly coveted vehicle.

Urvashi Rautela, who made her film debut with Singh Saab the Great, has had a steady rise in the industry, gaining recognition not only for her acting but also for her presence on social media.

Recently, she secured a spot on Instagram’s Forbes Rich List, highlighting her increasing influence and success in both the entertainment industry and the digital space.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a symbol of luxury and exclusivity, designed to offer the highest level of comfort and elegance.

Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, is reported to own multiple models of the Cullinan, including some special Black Badge editions. Shah Rukh Khan, known for his lavish lifestyle, added the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge to his extensive car collection.

Other notable personalities who have made the Rolls-Royce Cullinan a part of their luxury collection include actor Vivek Oberoi, who purchased a stunning silver-grey model, and Ajay Devgn, who is one of the few Indians to own this prestigious SUV. Even actor Allu Arjun, renowned for his role in Pushpa, has added the Cullinan to his fleet of luxury cars.

In addition to her new car, Urvashi Rautela has also earned accolades for her work in the film Daaku Maharaj, where her performance in the song Dabidi Dibidi garnered attention for its bold choreography.

The song, which features a controversial dance sequence with actor Nandamuri Balakrishna, received a mixed response from audiences. Many netizens criticised the choreography, labelling it "vulgar" and "cringe," leading to widespread backlash on social media.

Despite the criticism, Urvashi Rautela responded to the controversy in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, defending the choreography as being crafted for the film’s target audience. She explained that during rehearsals, everything went smoothly and as planned, and the team did not anticipate such a negative response.

She said, “When you look at my rehearsal clips, everything went really well. It was like how we usually choreograph for any song. I was working with Master Shekar, with whom I’ve collaborated before. This was my fourth time working with him, so it wasn’t like I was shocked or doing something completely out of the ordinary.”

Urvashi Rautela added, “During rehearsals, everything was smooth and under control. But honestly, everything happened so suddenly that it’s been hard to assess why people are talking about the choreography in this way. We didn’t realise it would be received like this because, during rehearsals, everything went as planned.”

Directed by Bobby Kolli, Daaku Maharaj also featured other prominent actors such as Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, and others, making it one of the much-anticipated films in recent months.
