The social media star called her out for stating that she wears ‘adhi nangi’ (half-nude) clothes and much more. Uorfi even claimed that a content creator sent her ‘triggering’ messages for calling her out.

Meeta Chowdry, whose Instagram bio states that she worked at DD News, shared a video about Uorfi, which has now been deleted, wherein she stated that Uorfi is famous for nothing more than wearing ‘aadhe nange (half-naked)’ clothes. “She has no other claim to her fame, except that she was always very less dressed,” she said.
