Uorfi Reveals Why She Isn't Going To Cannes 2025
On Wednesday, Uorfi shared a post that read, 'I haven't been uploading anything or been seen anywhere cause I was going through a phase. My business didn't work. I tried a bunch of other different things only to face rejections." She added, 'Got an opportunity to go to Cannes through Indie Wild. (Big big thank you to Diippa Khosla and Kshitij Kankaria) But as fate would have it, my visa got rejected." Uorfi shared that she believes rejections aren't the end, but rather a push to work even harder.
Meanwhile, yesterday, she shared a note on Instagram, stating that walking the Cannes red carpet is not an achievement unless one's film is being premiered. She revealed the 'truth' behind going to Cannes, explaining that brands often sponsor influencers or celebrities to attend, or individuals can even buy tickets to the film festival. 'Going to Cannes is an opportunity which isn't based on your merit. Brands buy tickets to the red carpet and give them to influencers/celebrities to represent the brand. Individuals can also buy tickets. Walking the Cannes red carpet is not an achievement, not even for me. It's an opportunity to promote yourself. That's the truth. Here I said it," she wrote.
