The clothing choices of Uorfi Javed have long been a source of media attention. Her right to wear whatever she pleases has gotten her into both public and legal difficulties. The social media star has just come clean about an obstacle she encountered when property hunting in Mumbai: her fashion sense.
Taking to Twitter, Uorfi Javed tweeted, “Muslim owners don’t want to rent me house ’cause of the way I dress, Hindi owners don’t want to rent me ’cause I’m Muslim. Some owners have an issue with the political threats I get. Finding a rental apartment in Mumbai is so tuff.”
