Urvashi Rautela compares her fame with Virat Kohli; comes up with an eyebrow-raising comment

Virat Kohli he is more than a cricket personality. The former Indian skipper has millions of admirers and followers across the globe, within and beyond the world of cricket. In every way, Kohli is the true icon of the modern age. However, the 36-year-old is matched time and again by his rivals both on and off the pitch.

This time, the rivalry that Kohli is facing is not related to the leaps and bounds of the cricket field but the pomp and glory of show business. Kohli’s rival, though far removed from the dynamics of the game, is a queen of the glamor world.

The diva trying to outdo Kohli is India’s famous actress and model Urvashi Rautelawho is celebrating the success of his latest film ‘Daaku Maharaaj’. Entertainment station Zoom TV captured Rautela and recently posted it on their Instagram story with the caption Looks like it’s already your year Urvashi.
