Urfi Javed opens up about being replaced, threatened to perform explicit scenes: "Had only two options- keep struggling or suicide"

Bigg Boss OTT contestant Urfi Javed was eliminated from the show in the first week itself. But the Meri Durga actress has made heads turn with her outings. She has often been trolled for her outfits, but she just carries them with confidence. Now, in a recent interview, she has opened up about her struggles.

It would be known to her fans that Urfi had run away from her home at a young age and had been surviving alone in the city for years. She ran to Delhi first after which she moved to Mumbai. Talking to ETimes, Urfi said, "When I left my home the only thing that mattered to me was leaving my home and feeling the freedom. I think I was enjoying the freedom that I had got and somehow that fear vanished. I was so excited to have finally gotten a chance to go out and do things that I want to. Until the time I did not leave my house, I wasn’t aware that girls can actually go out after 5 PM. I didn’t know I could go out for dinner, lunch and wear the clothes that I want. I was enjoying the freedom that I had finally got rather than fearing. It was when I came to Mumbai when I started worrying about things like how will I survive, I don’t have money."

But, when she started acting, she faced many setbacks too. Rejections had been regular. Urfi added, "I am still facing rejection and I still get rejected. I’ve been replaced a lot even after I’ve reached the set of a TV show. There have been times when I have been told after the first scene that I have been replaced. I would tell them to at least let me perform, but then there is internal politics. Initially, I would blame myself for the rejections but I slowly understood that not everything is meant for me. I can’t suit the requirements of every role." She even revealed that a she was conned by a Producer who forced her to do explicit scenes by threatening to send her to jail.

Urfi adds, "What kept me going was the necessity. I had only two options either keep struggling or suicide. Till date I’ve no plan B, this is what I know to do. This is my only plan and I’ve never thought about what else I can do. I don’t think I would have been alive if I had not become an actress."

Well, Urfi is inspirational for sure, isn't it?
