Last Updated: January 20, 2023, 12:25 PM IST
During the interview, she went on to say that people just want to gain popularity by targeting her.
Uorfi started her acting career in 2016 when she appeared in Sony TV’s Bade Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania as Avni Pant.
Actress and social media influencer Urofi Javed continues to make headlines for her unusual fashion sense. She has often been involved in controversies due to her bold clothing style. Urofi recently shared that she has even received death threats and rape threats for her boldness. In the midst of all this, Urofi has now made an important revelation about her career.
In an interview with ETimes, she said, “Other celebrities from the television and Bollywood industry also wear clothes like (me), but no one says anything to them.”
“Celebrities say that I want to attract people’s attention with my clothes. Yes, I do all this for attention. The Bollywood industry is all about gaining popularity and attention, so what’s wrong with me doing that? I am only 25 years old. I have done nothing wrong, people violently criminalize me,” she added.
During the interview, she went on to say that people just want to gain popularity by targeting her. She noted that she wanted to earn name and fame through acting, but not as a fashionista, adding that she does not want to please anyone with work. She said, “If I get work in this industry by building relationships with people rather than talent, then I don’t want a job like that. If I believe in something, I raise my voice for it. I will never compromise just for work.”
Uorfi started her acting career in 2016 when she appeared in Sony TV’s Bade Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania as Avni Pant. In 2017, she played Princess Chhaya in Star Plus’s Chandra Nandini. Later Urfi got seen in supporting roles for popular daily soaps like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Bepannaah. The actress has also appeared in TV reality shows such as Bigg Boss OTT (Season 1) and MTV Splitsvilla (Season 14).
