Uorfi Javed is undoubtedly the creativity queen in Tinseltown. She has always grabbed the headlines due to her unique, outlandish outfits made out of anything and everything. Apart from her quirky fashion sense, the actress-turned-internet sensation is also known for her bold statements and her nature of never shying away from calling a spade a spade. Recently, Uorfi called out influencers in an interview.
Uorfi, who is currently busy promoting her new series, Follow Kar Lo Yaar, graced The Having Said That Show and shared her strong opinion on social influencers promoting obesity in the name of 'body positivity'. The actress mentioned that she hates it when influencers try to mislabel obesity and disguise it as body positivity. Uorfi was quoted as saying:
"I hate it when influencers promote obesity disguised as body positivity. Toh hum...yahan gym ja rahe hain? You're being lazy, okay? You're eating pizzas and burgers every day. And I'm just smelling food. Nahi mazza aa rahi hain, but hum kar rahe hain. Body positivity. They've made it a category."
Further, one of the hosts agreed with Uorfi's point that it's not good to be unfit or unhealthy, but he also discussed how people who are obese shouldn't self-loathe but rather be positive about their looks so that they can lose weight. Uorfi shared her thoughts on this and mentioned that one can love oneself even while hitting the gym. She was quoted as saying:
"See, you can love yourself even while hitting the gym. No one is asking you to be skinny and even if we all work out the same, we would still not have the same body, but my point is let's not promote obesity. You're eating burgers and pizzas every day. Not working out at all. And then you're just going on your Instagram and yelling that I love my body and saying, 'Mujhe mat troll karo'. Arey, bring trolling back."
The channel on their Instagram page shared this excerpt from the whole interaction, and netizens took note of it. A majority of people on the internet lashed at Uorfi for her comments on body positivity, with many even pointing out that, being in such an influential position, Uorfi shouldn't have made such a statement. Meanwhile, a segment of people even agreed with what the actress actually meant when she made such remarks on obesity and body positivity.

Earlier, Uorfi sat for an interview with Galatta India and spoke at length about her professional and personal life. During the conversation, the fashion influencer revealed that she has the biggest celebrity crush on Bollywood actor, Arjun Kapoor. Uorfi added that she couldn't speak when he came in front of her. Sharing that she has met him twice at parties, Uorfi said:
"I have a big crush on Arjun Kapoor. I have met him twice at a party. Meri na bolti nahi nikalti hai uske samne because in my head, I have done things to him, he can’t even imagine. He does not even know what’s going on in my head. At a party, I was like I want to talk to him and I just said, you know my name."
While conversing, the host asked why Uorfi did not speak with Arjun, which might have led to some kind of bond between the two. The actress said that there was no point in talking to him as he was already dating someone, seemingly pointing to Arjun's relationship with Malaika Arora. However, the host mentioned that the couple might have parted ways, and this left Uorfi utterly surprised.
