Urvashi Rautela made headlines in 2024 when a bathroom scene from her movie Ghuspaithiya was leaked online, sparking widespread attention across social media platforms. The actor has now opened up about the incident in a candid interview with Bollywood Bubble, revealing that the leak was not accidental, but rather an intentional move, with her permission granted beforehand.

Permission Granted By Urvashi Rautela

During the interview, Urvashi spoke about how the makers of Ghuspaithiya approached her and explained their dire situation. She described the film as “amazing” and shed light on the behind-the-scenes reasoning for the bathroom scene’s release. According to Urvashi, the makers were under immense financial pressure and struggling with debt.

Urvashi revealed that the makers of Ghuspaithiya were facing a severe financial crisis, being on the brink of losing their land. She explained, “Unko kuch debt aa gaya tha, aur kuch udhari wagairah mein (They had some debt and were caught up in loans and such). They were about to lose everything.” In an attempt to resolve their situation, the makers approached her and her team with a request to release the bathroom scene earlier than intended.

The actor further clarified that the scene wasn’t something special that they had created just for the leak. “It was a scene from the movie; it wasn’t something special we had done,” she stated. Urvashi also revealed that the intention behind leaking the scene was not only to gain attention but also to create awareness, particularly for young women. She emphasized that it was meant to send a message about being cautious and aware in certain situations.

Ghuspaithiya is a crime drama directed by Susi Ganesan and is the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Thiruttu Payale 2 (2017). The movie stars Urvashi Rautela alongside Vineet Kumar Singh, Govind Namdev, and Akshay Oberoi. Released in theatres on August 9, 2024, the film adds to Rautela’s diverse portfolio.

Directed by Bobby Kohli, the film features Shraddha Srinath and Prakash Raj in key roles.
