Mumbai: Actress and fashion personality Uorfi Javed has opened up about a string of professional setbacks, revealing that she approached the makers of Bigg Boss 20 with hopes of joining the popular reality show but was turned down after a meeting.

Uorfi Javed Says Bigg Boss 20 Makers Rejected Her
Uorfi said she had been looking for an opportunity to participate in a reality show and considered Bigg Boss 20 after another project did not materialise.
She revealed that she contacted the show’s makers and even attended a meeting, but was ultimately rejected.
“I thought I will do Bigg Boss. Because I wanted to do a reality show. So, when I approached Bigg Boss makers, we also had a meeting, they just rejected me,” Uorfi said.
The actress said the experience was part of a difficult professional phase that she described as a year filled with rejection.
Lock Upp Opportunity Fell Through Over Date Clash
Before approaching the Bigg Boss team, Uorfi said she had received an offer to participate in Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa.
However, she claimed that her dates for another project clashed with the reality show’s schedule. According to Uorfi, she was unable to accept the Lock Upp offer because she had already committed to the other show.
She said she was later told that the existing project had been pushed forward, leaving her frustrated about missing the Lock Upp opportunity.
Uorfi Claims Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 Also Rejected Her
Uorfi further revealed that she considered participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, but claimed that the show’s makers also rejected her.
She said she was also replaced as a mentor on Playground, where she had previously been associated with the show.
According to Uorfi, the second season of her Prime Video series Follow Kar Lo Yaar was cancelled around a month before it was expected to move forward.
Netflix Show Cancelled After One Episode Was Shot
The actress also spoke about another project that she claimed was being developed for Netflix.
Uorfi alleged that the team had already shot an episode when the streaming platform decided to cancel the show after finding the material unsatisfactory.
“Then I was doing a show on Netflix. We even shot an episode. And Netflix said that the show is very bad. They cancelled it after shooting an episode,” she claimed.
The statement was part of Uorfi’s broader discussion about the uncertainty involved in the entertainment industry.
Brand Deals Also Reportedly Decline
Uorfi also claimed that she has experienced a decline in brand collaborations.
She said she previously worked on around five to six brand deals a month, but the number has now fallen to approximately two collaborations a month.
Reflecting on the setbacks, Uorfi said the past year had been particularly difficult professionally.
“I think that this year has been a year of rejection for me,” she said.
