Bigg Boss OTT: Urfi Javed recalls when her relatives labelled her porn star

TV actress Urfi Javed who was the first contestant to be eliminated from the Bigg Boss OTT house said that she received zero support from her family when her photos were uploaded on an adult site. She said that she was victim-blamed and her relatives called her a ‘porn star’.

In an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Urfi revealed that after her pictures were uploaded on an adult site, her father had abused her physically and mentally. Her relatives believed that she was a ‘porn star’ that they wanted to check her bank account to find the money she earned from starring in the adult film.

“I was not even in college, I was in the eleventh standard. It was tough because I didn’t have my family’s support. My family blamed me, I was victim-blamed. My relatives went so far as to call me a porn star. They wanted me to check my bank account, expecting to find crores,” she said.

She also said, “My father was physically and mentally abusive, and that torture lasted two years. I couldn’t remember my own name; people said such nasty things about me. No girl should go through what I went through.”

She said that she could not stand up for herself. “Even when my father victim-blamed me, I was not allowed to say anything, all I could do was suffer their torture, I was always told that girls don’t have a voice, that only men are allowed to make decisions,” she explained.

After being eliminated from Bigg Boss house, Urfi blamed her former friend and connection, Zeeshan Khan for her eviction. Zeeshan Khan had ditched Urfi to form a new connection with Divya Agarwal. With no connection, Urfi was nominated for elimination.
