The post garnered humorous responses from Instagram users, with one jokingly suggesting she sold half her top to buy tomatoes and another playfully praising her for flaunting her unique talents. Some even expressed their support for "justice for tomatoes".

Earlier, Suniel Shetty voiced his concern over the rising tomato prices in India and revealed that he had to cut down on tomato consumption due to the escalating costs. As a restaurateur who grows fruits and vegetables at his Khandala farmhouse, he shared that he opts to purchase fresh produce from apps due to their comparatively lower prices.

The tomato prices surge was attributed to heavy rains in Maharashtra during the first week of May, resulting in significant crop losses for farmers and leading to higher prices in the retail market across various locations in the state. Currently, tomatoes are being reportedly sold at Rs 160 and Rs 190.

As Uorfi Javed creatively brings attention to this economic issue, it highlights the impact of rising tomato prices on consumers and the need for sustainable solutions in the agricultural sector.
