Uorfi Javed: ‘My Father Abused Me When I Was 17, I Ran Away’

New Delhi: Uorfi Javed is quite an enigma with her daring fashion choices and experiments. She is one of the most trolled social celebrities, yet the media love to publish her photos. But this time, she’s not showing anything, she’s saying something and it is making headlines.

In a conversation with Humans of Bombay, Uorfi Javed discussed her decision to leave her family at 17. She said that it all began when one of her photos was posted on a porn website.  “When I was 15, someone uploaded my picture to a porn site. It was a normal picture. I uploaded it wearing a tube top as my Facebook profile photo. Someone downloaded it and uploaded it on a porn site without morphing, without anything. Slowly, everyone got to know about it. Everyone started blaming me a lot. I was told I am a porn star. I was like ‘Where is the video?’ But they said, ‘No, no she is a porn star’,” she was quoted as saying.

She further added, “Even my father was like ‘She is a porn star’. I think my father was trying to gain sympathy from all this. He was telling everyone that porn site people are asking for Rs 50 lakh. He told our relatives. I was like that isn’t possible but I couldn’t say anything because they were beating me up at home. I was so confused that ‘I am the victim here, why are you hitting me?’ But they were not ready to believe it. I endured that for two years. It was just too much to take from relatives, my father. I was 17 when I ran away.”

Uorfi Javed left her home and relocated to Lucknow with her sisters. She used to tutor children to help pay her rent. Later, she moved to Delhi and took a job at a call centre. She then relocated to Mumbai, lived in a PG, went on auditions and eventually found part-time television work, according to News18.
