In an interview with SpotboyE, Urfi Javed talked about her struggling phase and shared how she managed to overcome them. Recalling sleeping in parks since she had no home, Urfi shared:
“There was a time I had no house, I was living in the parks. I was homeless. Ek time pe mai park wagira pe bi soyi hun, friends ke ghar kuch dino ke liye rehi hun. In winters, I have slept on the floor with no quilts and no bed. But now, I have everything. When today I look back from where I started, I feel blessed, lucky, and grateful. One thing I am proud of myself for is not giving up. I remember there were so many times I wanted to give up, I want to quit. I wanted to kill myself. I am glad I didn’t give up during those testing times.”
In the same interview, Urfi recalled having suicidal thoughts and revealed that she was too weak to commit the same. She also recalled people’s nasty comments about her and said:
“Everyone goes through emotions like depression, have suicidal thoughts when you have no money, no money to eat or to feed your family. I have managed to survive all this because of my will to live. I am too weak to commit suicide. Also, whenever someone has pulled me down, it made me more adamant to prove them wrong. People have told me nasty things like, tu toh shows mai side role karte hi reh jayi, tu toh aise hi hai, tu toh gareeb hai.”
