Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela, who made her red carpet debut at Cannes this year, has claimed that she got extremely emotional after Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio complimented her at the film festival.

Former Miss Diva Universe Urvashi Rautela, who is well known for her role in the 2018 erotic thriller Hate Story 4, attended the screening of the film ‘Forever Young’ at the 75th Cannes Film Festival in a black dress featuring a long train, designed by Ali Younes. On her debut appearance, the actress chose to wear a white ball gown with layer detailing and a long train. Sharing that it was a dream come true to meet DiCaprio in person, Urvashi Rautela said, “I was freaking out and falling short of words after receiving compliments from Leonardo DiCaprio.”

She added, “I was so emotional and could feel happy tears in my eyes. At the same time I was blushing too. He also appreciated me as a very talented actress. I was waking up pinching myself. Did that really happen last night? Was I dreaming about the sweet moment? I think it just shows how even the younger actors want to be out there and inspires young actors to keep going, that’s my memory of meeting him.”
