In a bizarre yet historic turn of events, Bollywood actress and international pageant judge Urvashi Rautela has set an unusual Guinness World Record — becoming the first woman to be officially recognized for being stuck inside a revolving door for 25 continuous minutes.
The incident occurred at a luxury hotel in Dubai where Rautela was attending a high-profile fashion gala. As she attempted to make a grand entrance through the ornate revolving door, a technical glitch reportedly caused the door to halt abruptly — with Urvashi caught between the panels.
Despite the initial confusion, Rautela remained calm and even waved to onlookers through the glass while hotel staff scrambled to resolve the issue. Passersby captured the surreal moment, and videos quickly went viral across social media, garnering millions of views and sparking a trend dubbed #DoorQueenChallenge.
Following the widespread attention, a Guinness World Records official confirmed the record under a new novelty category: “Longest Time a Female Celebrity Has Been Stuck in a Revolving Door (Non-Emergency)”.
Urvashi, known for her larger-than-life fashion statements and now her sense of humor, shared on Instagram:
“Even doors can’t handle this level of fabulous. I’m honored… and unstuck.”
Fans flooded her post with laughter and admiration, with some calling her “the most glamorous record holder ever.”
While unconventional, the record has added another feather to Urvashi Rautela’s already eclectic cap — proving that even getting stuck can make history when you’re a diva.
