Uorfi Javed has seen struggle in its extreme form. She's one of the most popular faces on social media but once, she was hustling to settle down after a traumatic childhood. Now, in her latest interaction with a social media page, Uorfi or Urfi opened up about her abusive past and recalled how her father would beat her till she lost consciousness.
While talking to the human interest page, Uorfi said the torture she endured from her father made her suicidal. In order to start a fresh life far away from her abusive childhood, she did jobs like taking tuition to make ends meet. After relocating to Mumbai with her siblings and mother, life changed for Uorfi. “Growing up in Lucknow, I did not understand why I was stopped from dressing a certain way. I was mentally and physically abused; I even tried comitting suicide but in that one moment, I decided to give my life a second chance," she said.
She added, "I ran away to Delhi. I was just 17. I began taking tuitions to support myself. Later, I started working in a call center. Soon, I decided to go and try my luck in Mumbai. I had no money or place to live so I used to stay at my friends’ houses. I did odd jobs, giving interviews and even gave auditions. After a brief period of struggle, I cracked a TV Serial, and then tried my destiny in Bigg Boss OTT. But I was evicted within a week. With no job in hand, I began experimenting with the things I was best with—clothes!"
Uorfi opened up about being trolled for her fashion choices. "It didn’t sit well with the people. The world trolled me and called my choices rubbish and weird. I was questioned about my morality and character. But not caring about faceless people’s opinions on the Internet, I kept embracing myself and expressed self-acceptance through my choice," the actress shared.
After Bigg Boss OTT, Uorfi shot to fame and became a nationwide name.
