Pant-Rautela in war of words

Rautela and Pant had in the past taken digs at each other with their posts on social media. Pant and Rautela were linked with each other in the past and rumours had it that the two were dating.

However, Pant later publically announced that he was in love with Isha Negi. Rautela - meanwhile - courted a massive controversy earlier this year and took a dig at Pant without naming him. In an interview, Rautela alleged that one 'RP' was attracted towards her and waited for hours to meet her.

In a rebuttal, Pant shared a story on his Instagram handle and without naming Rautela termed her interview a publicity gimmick. Since then Rautela has been getting herself linked with Pant by making appearances in the stadium where the India cricketer had been playing and even sharing her videos when Pant was batting.

Rautela has been sharing cryptic captions in her social media posts for quite some time which fans have been claiming are directed towards Pant.
