Urvashi Rautela reports Rs 70 lakh jewellery theft at London airport: 'I am deeply disheartened…'

B-town actress Urvashi Rautela reported the theft of her luxury suitcase from London's Gatwick Airport. The suitcase, containing Rs 70 lakhs worth of jewelry, went missing while she was in London for Wimbledon. Despite her efforts to find the bag, it has not been recovered.

“As a Platinum Emirates Member and a global artist attending Wimbledon, I am deeply disheartened to report that our Christian Dior brown baggage was stolen from the baggage belt at London Gatwick Airport, following our Emirates flight from Mumbai. Despite holding our baggage tag and ticket, the bag went missing directly from the belt area—an alarming breach of airport security. This matter is not only about a lost bag—it’s about accountability, safety, and dignity for all travelers," the actress said in a statement, as shared by her team.

Urvashi Rautela stated that she sought assistance from Emirates support and Gatwick Airport officials, but did not receive any help in locating her missing suitcase.

Urvashi Rautela's mother this month accused the actress's former manager, Vedika Prakash Shetty, of theft. Meera Rautela alleged that Shetty, who worked with Urvashi from 2015 to 2017, was involved in "multiple acts of theft and deceit" during that period.

“Vedika Prakash Shetty was employed as a 24/7 executive assistant to my daughter during 2015-2017. She was hired to assist Urvashi during her reign after returning from Miss Universe in Las Vegas and subsequently during the handover of Miss Universe India crown in 2016. At this time, she was entrusted with various responsibilities, starting from Urvashi’s wardrobe, heavy gowns and personal belongings. However, soon we realised that she had engaged in multiple acts of theft and deceit which caused a great deal of financial loss to the family," Urvashi’s mother claimed.

Urvashi Rautela, a former beauty pageant contestant, has starred in Bollywood films like "Singh Saab the Great" and Hate Story 4. She's also known for her music video appearances, including hits like Love Dose and Bijli Ki Taar, which have boosted her popularity.
