Is it a fashion? asked a user. “R I P Indian culture, traditions ,young generation,” commented yet another user. “This is disgusting!” wrote another social media user.

In a recent interview with News 18, Urfi reacted to all such the hate messages and said that the reason why she gets judged based on her looks is because she is a Muslim.

She revealed how she comes from a rather conservative Muslim family where she wasn’t even allowed to wear jeans. “I have realised that no matter what I do, people will say things. I belong to a conservative Muslim family and for the longest time, I was told what I have to wear. I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans. My chest would always have to be covered with a duppata. This made me a rebel and today I will wear whatever I want to”, Urfi Javed stated.

Calling her religion as ‘deterrent’, Urfi said, “I am a Muslim girl so when I do something or wear certain kinds of clothes, it really doesn’t go down well with a lot of people. My religion has been a deterrent.”

In terms of work, Urfi Javed made her debut with 2016 TV show ‘Bade Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania’. She later went on to feature in many serials like ‘Meri Durga’, ‘Bepannaah’, ‘Puncch Beat Season 2’, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay’.
