You can love her, or hate her but you can’t ignore Uorfi Javed or her unconventional fashion choices. Be it trash bags or electric wires, she has made outfits out of anything and everything and there’s more to come for sure.

Even though she owns her fashion style, people often find it offensive, revealing, and problematic of sorts. And this has often put her in soup.
Her outfits have also become the reason for her not being able to rent an apartment in Mumbai. Pretty weird, right? Recently, the public figure took to Twitter and shared her plight.
She tweeted that Muslim house owners are not taking her in as a tenant because of the way she dresses. Some also deny her homes because of the threats she has been getting, again, because of her dressing sense.
“Muslim owners don’t want to rent me house cause of the way I dress, Hindi owners don’t want to rent me one cause I’m Muslim. Some owners have an issue with the political threats I get. Finding a rental apartment in Mumbai is so tuff.” (sic)

After she tweeted this, people decided to share their two cents on the matter. While some suggested she dress appropriately, others came in support of her.
It’s like they are not stopping you from wearing or not wearing whatever you want!!
But they don’t want you around to disturb there family!!For obvious reasons, traditional families.
Respect that!— Left&Right (@LeftokRight) January 24, 2023
Correction: It is not because of the way you dress, but it is because you do not dress.

Why not dress in an appropriate manner so that you can get to stay in both Muslim and Hindu area’s? At least wear some basic clothing. Moreover the owners are scared of you not paying the rent. As a pauper like you who can’t afford decent clothing then who can take risks.

Just like you have a freedom of dressing the way you like similarly house owners have a freedom whom to give a house. Nothing biased here.

I’d rather be dead than live amongst these traditional families. The absolute worst people.

Traditional families getting seduced by ‘untraditional dress’ 👏👏

Still not a reason to deny Housing to someone. It’s a basic right!

Mumbai flat owners will easily rent out to live in couples, single males but not so easily to single women.

This is unconstitutional and wrong.
