Uorfi Javed, who hails from a non-industry background, has carved a path in the industry through her own hard work and dedication. The 25-year-old, known for frequently acing unique outfits, recently turned muse for an independent print publication, named The Dirty Magazine. The actress recently appeared on the cover of the respective magazine and opened up in an interview about her difficult upbringing and suicide attempt.
As the second of five children, Uorfi Javed grew up in a strict, traditional family in Lucknow. She struggled hard with her father, who was both emotionally and physically abusive. "He used to beat us a lot, used to beat my mother too. And the verbal abuse was a daily thing. Someone calling you a r**** every day, it f***s you up. I attempted suicide also a couple of times," said Javed.

Uorfi further noted, "I barely left the house, my father wouldn't allow it. But I used to watch a lot of TV, and I was always interested in fashion." "I didn’t have a lot of fashion knowledge, but I knew what I wanted to wear. I wanted to look different, I wanted to look the best. Like when I go to a party, everyone turns to look at me," said the social media influencer.
Uorfi also revealed that her picture was put on a p*rn site when she was 15, adding that the abuse got 'worse'. She asserted that everybody around her started calling her a whore at that time. "I decided oh, you think I’m a whore? Fine, watch me be a whore now," she told the publication.
Further opening up about the kind of clothes she wears, Uorfi said, "Jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai. Mujhe nai lapetna chadar. Mujhe toh dikhana hai. Meri marzi. I don’t even have anything [gesturing at chest] and I’m so controversial. If I had big b**bs and a big a*s imagine where I would be. I haven’t shown my nipples. I haven’t shown my vagina. What are you so upset about? I haven’t even s*xualised my body the way people do."
