After sparking dating rumours with Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, which many considered a publicity stunt, Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela has recently shared cozy pictures with former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, which raised speculations among netizens that Urvashi and Benzema are dating.
While talking about her political aspirations, Urvashi Rautela recently disclosed that she already has a ticket to run for elections. The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner, Karim Benzema, on the other hand, is currently playing for Saudi club Al-Ittihad after leaving Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2023.
Reportedly, the 30-year-old Urvashi met Benzema during a party in Madrid, Spain and the duo clicked pictures together. The Bollywood actress took to her official Instagram handle, which has over 70 million followers, and posted a couple of cozy pictures with the football icon.
Urvashi used hashtags UR1, and UR7, which seemingly combined to make Rishabh Pant's jersey no. 17. This sparked a meme fest in her comments section as fans called her the reason for Benzema's downfall. The Frenchman hasn’t been able to score a goal since December 15, 2023, and has had a major slump in his form since he joined Al-Ittihad in June 2023.

However, Urvashi and Benzema both are yet to confirm the dating rumours. The 36-year-old French was married to Cora Gauthier in December 2016 and the duo became the parents of their first son Ibrahim Benzema on May 5, 2017. Before Cora, Benzema had two daughters with Chloe de Launay, Melia, and Nouri. In April 2023, Benzema welcomed his fourth child with his partner, Jordan Ozuna.
