New Delhi: Actress Urvashi Rautela on Friday evening left fans confused with a cryptic tweet after cricketer Rishabh Pant suffered a road accident earlier in the day.
In the tweet, Urvashi wrote, “I pray for you & your family’s wellbeing.”
While the tweet left many users sarcastically confused, others appreciated the actor for posting the message despite their personal differences.
Users took a sarcastic dig at the actress and asked if the tweet was for PM Modi whose mother passed away or for former Brazilian footballer Pele who passed away due to cancer – both on Friday.
Earlier, Urvashi had also posted a cryptic Instagram post with her glamorous picture. The picture was captioned “Praying”.
Rumors about the relationship between Urvashi and the cricketer emerged in 2018 after they were spotted together at restaurants, parties, and other events. But in 2019, Pant dismissed rumors and announced his relationship with his girlfriend Isha Negi. He even shared a picture with Isha on Instagram.
Since then, they have been taking oblique potshots at each other. A few months ago, Urvashi shared a post about some "Chhotu bhaiya" along with hashtags #RPChotuBhaiyya and #DontTakeAdvantageOfASilentGirl that made the internet abuzz.
The post was in response to an Instagram Story shared and deleted by Pant he said "some people lie in interviews just for some meager popularity". The Story was in response to an interview Urvashi gave in August in which she claimed that one "RP" waited for her in a hotel lobby and called her several times.
I pray for you & your family’s wellbeing.

Masyaf (Syria), Sep 9: The number of people killed in overnight Israeli strikes in Syria has risen to 18 with dozens more wounded, Syria's health minister said on Monday — the largest death toll in such an attack since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
One of the sites targeted was a research centre used in the development of weapons, a war monitor said. Syrian officials said civilian sites were targeted.
Israel regularly targets military sites in Syria linked to Iran and the Lebanese group Hezbollah. Those strikes have become more frequent as Hezbollah has exchanged fire with Israeli forces for the past 11 months against the backdrop of Israel's war against Hamas — a Hezbollah ally — in Gaza.
However, the intensity and death toll of Sunday night's strikes were unusual.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of war-torn Syria in recent years, but it rarely acknowledges or discusses the operations. The strikes often target Syrian forces or Iranian-backed groups.
Israel has vowed to stop Iranian entrenchment in Syria, particularly since Syria is a key route for Iran to send weapons to Hezbollah.
Israeli strikes hit several areas in central Syria, damaging a highway in Hama province and sparking fires, Syrian state news agency SANA said.
Speaking to reporters, Syrian Health Minister Hassan al-Ghabbash described the strikes as a “brutal and barbaric aggression”. He said the death toll had risen to 18 with nearly 40 wounded.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, said 25 were killed, including at least five civilians, while the others included Syrian army soldiers and members of Hezbollah and other Iran-linked armed groups.
One strike targeted a scientific research centre in Masyaf, and others struck sites where “Iranian militias and experts are stationed to develop weapons in Syria”, the observatory said. It said the research centre was reportedly used for developing weapons, including short- and medium-range precision missiles and drones.
Minister of Electricity Mohammad al-Zamel said the strikes had caused “truly significant” damage to water and electricity infrastructure.
“This brutal attack targeted civilian targets, and the martyrs were mostly civilians, as were the wounded,” he said.
Local media also reported strikes around the coastal city of Tartous, which the observatory said were the result of air defense missiles falling.
On Monday afternoon, a charred car remained at the scene of one strike and smoke was still rising from some spots where fires had been put out.
