Rautela, who watched India destroy their bitter rivals Pakistan in “the biggest game in cricket” lost the rare piece of tech in the Narendra Modi Stadium.
She claimed the phone was made of real 24 carat gold and pleaded with the Ahmedabad Police to help her find the missing device.
The former winner of Miss Diva – Miss Universe India 2015 took to X October 15 to ask for help.
Her post said: “Lost my 24 carat real gold i phone at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad!
“If anyone comes across it, please help. Contact me ASAP! #LostPhone #AhmedabadStadium #HelpNeeded #indvspak @modistadium @ahmedabadpolice.”
The official Ahmedabad Police account responded asking the star for more details.
In a later post she copied the same caption but showed a photo of the police report she had just filed.
Eagle eyed fans however have spotted the Hindi megastar holding the mysterious phone in videos posted the day after she reported it as missing.
Rautela was stopped in Mumbai airport by fans wanting to take a picture with her and the gold phone can clearly be seen in her right hand.
This led to people online calling the appeals for help fake and a publicity stunt.
One X user commented: “Urvashi Rautela said that she lost her 24 Carat gold iPhone during the #INDvsPAK match yesterday.
“I can see one in her hand.”
Others joked that she had it stolen by some of the Pakistan players and that was why they played so poorly as they were distracted.
Many jumped to her defence though noting that just because the video was posted after the alleged stealing it doesn’t mean that was when it was taken.
Earlier today, the star with 69.2 million followers on Instagram offered a reward for whoever finds her phone that is being shown as in a shopping mall in Ahmedabad.
