Uorfi Javed, known for her quirky and eccentric fashion, recently shot for a magazine photoshoot in six different looks designed by six prominent designers, including Anamika Khanna, Rahul Mishra and others.
In an interview with Dirty Magazine, Uorfi opened up about her 'difficult' childhood and alleged that her father was an abuser and her siblings and even her mother were verbally and physically abused by him. She also revealed that she attempted suicide a couple of times.
“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**** you up. I attempted suicide also a couple of times. 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," Uorfi told Dirty magazine.
Uorfi also shared how her journey of DIYing her clothes started. “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.”
When asked about her fashion choices she said, “Jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai. Mujhe nai lapetna chadar. Mujhe toh dikhana hai. Meri marzi (What shows sells. I do not wish to cover up in a bedsheet, I want to show my body and that is my choice). I don’t even have anything [gesturing at her chest] and I’m so controversial. If I had big b***** and a big a** imagine where I would be. I haven’t shown my n******. I haven’t shown my v*****. What are you so upset about? I haven’t even sexualised my body the way people do. But I am capitalising on the sexualisation.”
Uorfi is clear about what she wants from life – money and fame. She shared that growing up she was always stressed about money and never had any. She believes that mine solves 99 problems out of 100.
“All my life I’ve been upset and stressed about money. I never had any, even though I was a rich girl in my head. I really think instead of running after a man, girls should run after money. Because money is not everything, but it is a lot of things. If you have 100 problems, money will solve 99 of them. And anyway it is better to have rich people problems than poor people problems,” she told Dirty magazine.
