The latest episode in the saga comes after Rautela in an Instagram story shared a photo of a bouquet apparently given to her by the staff of a hotel in Colombo.

The Pakistani Twitter users were again at it as they posted a picture of the pacer apparently hiding his face behind a kitbag along with a picture of Rautela’s Insta story.

A Twitter user questioned the actress’s arrival in Colombo when Shah is already there.

“Jokes aside, but for what purpose has Urvashi gone to Colombo, I am actually afraid,” the tweet showed.

While sharing a picture of Rautela’s Insta story, another Twitter user asked why the actress is “not leaving Shah alone”.

“Oh my God… Ye #NaseemShah ki pecha Nahi chorhni wali,” he wrote.

One commentator attributed the pacer’s performance to Rautela’s presence in Sri Lankan capital.

Another posted a picture of the actress’ Insta story, writing “I was wondering why Naseem Shah was bowling this well today”.

The story goes back to 2022 when Rautela shared a fan-made video clip from the Asia Cup 2022 fixture between Pakistan and India in Dubai.

The first frame of the edited video showed the fast bowler smiling. The second frame showed Rautela returning the smile. The clip ended with them smiling at each other.

Later in 2023, social media users were provided with another point of debate after Rautela posted a comment on Shah’s Instagram picture, in which the pacer had congratulated cricketer Shadab Khan on his wedding.

The actress also congratulated the Pakistani pacer for being conferred with an honorary DSP rank in Balochistan Police.

Shah also expressed his gratitude towards her for the kind gestures. However, he later clarified that it was his manager who actually answered the greetings.
