Uorfi Javed has exclusively connected with whosthat360. In this unfiltered conversation, she opens up about her journey in the industry. She shares her mantra of staying relevant and a strong message for the trolls as well.

Here are a few edited excerpts from this conversation;

Now, your series is successfully running. You have come a long way. How do you look back at your journey?

I look back with a lot of nostalgia, with a lot of pride. If I can, if I can say that from where I started.

The emergence of OTT is giving more chances to the actors. Do you feel that?

Yeah, of course, earlier it was just limited to Bollywood. There was a handful of roles that only went to A-listers. But now you can audition and get a good role or even leading roles in OTT. So work has increased which is an extremely good thing for newcomers. 

Any actor or director, you are dying to work with.

I want to work with Dibakar Banerjee

What does it take to stay relevant in this business?

First of all, if you want to be an actor, then what has relevance to do with the acting? Of course, we want to be a famous actor but I think we need to concentrate on becoming an actor first. For that, it's important to learn acting.

You recently spoke about influencers promoting obesity in the name of body positivity. But netizens seem a bit disappointed.

They feel you should be the someone promoting it, what you have to say about it.

I cannot promote an unhealthy lifestyle. I'm sorry if that's what you want. If you are not working out a single day, eating unhealthy and just having sweets and obesity is actually an invitation to a lot of diseases, by the way, let me tell you so it is I don't understand if you're 150 KGS and you promote body positivity by eating pizza and all that is not right.

Having said that, I do believe if all of us worked out, we would not have the same bodies even if we worked out the same. So, my point is you promote whatever you want to promote as long as you're eating healthy, as long as you're exercising.

One message to the trolls.

No, I want them to stay under my post. They're giving me engagement. They're giving me views and numbers.
