I couldn’t help but notice the ongoing fiasco between Uorfi Javed and Chetan Bhagat. At a literature event, he was talking about how the youth is constantly distracted and not thinking about making their careers. They’re busy scrolling on Instagram.
He mentioned Uorfi Javed's name out of nowhere, saying: “Everybody knows who Uorfi Javed is. Everybody knows this. Why? Is it going to come in your exams who is Uorfi Javed, or will you be telling your employer in an interview..."
He further continued saying, “On one side, but there also is the youth who is protecting our nation at Kargil, and on another side, we have another youth who is seeing Uorfi Jawed's photos in their blankets.”
She slammed him saying: “Men like him will always blame the women rather than accept their shortcomings. Stop promoting rape culture, you sickos out there. Blaming women's clothes for the behaviour of men is so 80s Mr Chetan Bhagat..."
She continued: Who was distracting the youth when you messaged girls half your age? People like you are misleading the youth, not me. Encouraging men to blame women or their clothing when they are not at fault."
It is her right to wear what she pleases as an adult, and it’s completely okay not to watch her if you don’t like her ways but saying sh*t like this is upsetting, especially when you have a huge fan base and are in the position of power and influence.
