Urvashi Rautela walked the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival 2023 on May 16. Decked up in a pink tulle gown, she looked stunning. However, her bizarre crocodile necklace caught the attention of the netizens. Later, a jewellery expert accused the piece of being fake. She even slammed the actress’ team. Urvashi’s PR team has now reacted to it and claimed that the necklace is worth Rs 276 crore.
On Day 1 of Cannes, Urvashi Rautela joined the other celebrities that walked the red carpet. Her crocodile necklace quickly became popular online. Many others were perplexed by it, and some were even motivated to make funny memes out of it. Urvashi’s PR team mentioned the neckpiece’s value on her Instagram stories after jewellery expert Arundhati De-Sheth criticised the actress for sporting a bogus neckpiece to Cannes 2023.
The note read, “The original crocodile neck piece worn by @urvashirautela has increased its value from 200 cr to 276 cr. It represents Rautela’s tenacity & nonetheless serves as a symbol of both the challenges & successes that women face in patriarchal societies.”
A jewellery expert named Arundhati De-Sheth took to her Instagram stories to call out Urvashi for wearing a fake neckpiece to Cannes 2023. In the first post, she shared a video where Urvashi is seen flaunting her crocodile jewellery. Arundhati wrote, “I am hugely confused by this look in general. However, all personal feelings aside, is she wearing the original @cartier Maria Felix crocodile necklace?!” Beneath the video, she wrote, “And, who is the maker of the earrings? Clarification desperately needed! Won’t get sleep.”
In another post, Arundhati shared a pictures of the original pieces and wrote, “Going to Cannes in France. Home of @cartier- Then wearing a poor shoddy sad ugly copy of a historic piece. Allegedly representing our nation and pretending to be wearing the real thing. When it’s been hastily crafted in the back of beyond. Shameful @teamurvashirautelaofficial it seems you have not done any homework. We are a land of the most special treasures and jewels that she could have worn instead – this is blatant and so sad.”
