A rollercoaster ride ft. Uorfi

It's been quite a year for Uorfi Javed. The social media star pens a personal account of all the fun (and chaos) that 2023 was and what she hopes to leave behind in 2024.

Ever heard 'The Monkey's Paws story? If not, Google it right away. But coming to the point: Be careful what you wish for! 2023 was the kind of year that I once wished for flashing lights, people talking about me, everyone recognising me. As everyone knows by now... I am a professional attention seeker. Little did I know everything comes with a cost. I didn't really know how to handle things like rape threats, death threats, multiple FIRs. All this made me extremely anxious and, at the same time, depressed. Even after enduring all this, I am not where I want to be not accepted by the fashion world or the industry, still struggling to make a name on my own, still struggling to survive. I came to Mumbai with no money so the thought of going broke again constantly haunts me. Well you guessed it right-I don't really have a lot of work. I keep saying I don't care (and I really don't care) but when you're alone at night scrolling through your phone, it hits you...it hits you bad. I have constants thoughts: What if people forget me?' 'What if I don't get work after this?" "How will I manage my life?' I wouldn't say I love a luxurious life but, yes, it is a comfortable life right now. I don't really want to go back to my cramped up one-room-kitchen apartment I used to live even the idea scares me.
