People copying someone else’s caption or quoting someone without acknowledgment is a common thing these days. But when you are in the public eye 24×7, you can’t afford to blatantly copy others and not give them credit. That’s because the social media police, like a hawk, is always looking for something to prey on.
And this time, it’s beauty queen and Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela who got under the scanner of people online for posting a caption back in July 2021.
What happened is, Rautela posted a picture with a caption that is somewhat identical to what American actress and singer Zendaya posted in July 2020.
First, let’s look at Rautela’s old post that’s been investigated.
She captioned it:
Now, take a look at Zendaya’s post she shared in July 2020.
She wrote:

As people online rightly pointed out, this isn’t the first time Urvashi copied a celeb’s caption. Earlier, she copy-pasted NY-based author’s tweet about ‘Parasite’. She was also labeled a ‘copycat’ when she lifted Gigi Hadid’s IG caption WORD-TO-WORD.
About time she gets a new social media manager or just works around emojis.
