Uorfi Javed Details Reality Show Rejections and Career Setbacks
Uorfi Javed made a video about problems in her work life.
She said she wanted to join a reality show.
She could not join Lock Upp because one filming day conflicted with another project she had already signed.
Later, that other project was delayed, but she still missed Lock Upp.
She said Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi also rejected her.
She said Playground replaced her after she had been a mentor.
She also said two streaming projects were cancelled, including one after an episode was filmed.
Uorfi said she had fewer brand offers than before and felt the year had been full of rejection.
Uorfi Javed said Bigg Boss makers rejected her after a meeting.
She said a scheduling conflict prevented her from joining Lock Upp, though the other show's shoot was later delayed.
Uorfi claimed Khatron Ke Khiladi rejected her and Playground replaced her as a mentor.
She said Prime Video cancelled Follow Kar Lo Yaar season two and Netflix cancelled another show after one episode was filmed.
She described the period as a year of rejection and said brand opportunities had declined, though reports differ on the timeframe she cited.
