Uorfi Javed recently reacted to a former DD News journalist in a strongly-worded statement. The alleged journalist claimed that Uorfi had converted to Hinduism and changed her name to Rita Bhardwaj. The social media star called her out for stating that she wears ‘adhi nangi' (half-nude) clothes and much more. Uorfi even claimed that a content creator sent her ‘triggering' messages for calling her out.

Content creator claims Uorfi converted to Hinduism

Meeta Chowdry, whose Instagram bio states that she worked at DD News, shared a video about Uorfi, which has now been deleted, wherein she stated that Uorfi is famous for nothing more than wearing ‘aadhe nange (half-naked)' clothes. "She has no other claim to her fame, except that she was always very less dressed," she said.

She further claimed, "Uorfi has now announced that she, who was a Muslim, has changed her name to Rita Bhardwaj. Which means she has converted. She has become a Hindu from a Muslim." Meeta even asked Uorfi to adapt some ‘laaj lajja' (shame, modesty) also.

Uorfi shared the now-deleted video on her Instagram stories, writing, "Kaise Kaise chomu log apne aap ko journalist bolte hai! Aunty please thoda homework kar Lijiye, i never changed my name or religion also. I don't believe in any religion. (Such stupid people call themselves journalists. Aunty, please do your homework)." (sic)

She further added, "Also I'm not just nangi with my clothes I'm also nangi with my words but aaj mood nahi hai. Also Ek bar google Karlo how many shows I have to my names, Mujhe aapka Ganda make up dekh k sharam agyi or aap Ki journalism Pe. Burai karni hai karo Bindaas, but don't spread fake news cause I can't do the same to you cause no one cares aunty ji. (I am not just bare with my clothes, but with my words too. But I'm not in the mood for it today. Once Google to see how many shows I've done. I am ashamed of your bad makeup and your journalism. If you want to badmouth, do it)." (sic)

Later, Uorfi even attached screenshots of the messages she received, and wrote, "meeta chowdhry aunty got so triggered! But still her facts are wrong, I haven't gotten fake boobs. Just because her face looks like sagging ones she's obsessed with boobs." (sic)

She also added, "Aunty sent me extremely triggering msgs which I can't even upload then deleted the video and blocked me, guys I can't be disrespectful to her, she looks like my daada ji (grandpa)."
