Uorfi Javed, actress and reality star, is known for being in the news for her unique fashion sense. The actress continues to surprise people with her fashion choice which is often termed as 'bold and bizarre' by some and 'creative' by others. While her outfits have triggered controversies in the past, this time the actress reveals she has been getting death threats. For her latest look, ahead of Halloween, Uorfi recreated Chhote Pandit's look from the film 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'. 


Uorfi took to the social media handle X to share that she has been getting death threats for her look. She shared screenshots of netizens demanding that she take down the picture of her dressed as Chhote Pandit or else face consequences. Javed recreated the look popularised by actor Rajpal Yadav in the 2007 film 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'. Just like the character, she painted her face red and wore an orange dhoti and a red top. She put a marigold garland around her neck and 2 incense sticks on her ears to complete the look.


Sharing her look and Rajpal Yadav's look along with screenshots of the death threat, Uorfi wrote, "I'm just shocked and appalled by this country mahn , I'm getting death threats in recreating a character from a movie where as that character didn't get any backlash :/".


In one of the screenshots, she received an email by a man named Nikhil Goswami demanding her to delete the video or he will kill her. Another man named Rupesh Kumar asks her how she is defaming Hindu religion.  "Live your life, I will shoot you at the intersection," he wrote in the mail.

Uorfi Javed is known for participating in TV reality shows such as Bigg Boss OTT and MTVSplitsvillaX4. She often makes headlines for her bold choice of clothing and unfiltered remarks. In a recent interaction with BBC World, Uorfi Javed shared how people do not respect her and therefore want to refrain from working with her. “I have achieved popularity? Yes. Fame? Yes. Work? No. People don’t respect me. People don’t want to work with me. I scream attention. I want attention so I dress like that.”

When asked if she is affected by trolls, she said, "I am human so I get upset. But then me being upset lasts for like 5-10 minutes and then I just tell myself that they are just probably very ugly, you are just too pretty".
