Dolly Javed: It's time people know me as Dolly, not just Uorfi's sister
Dolly Javed
, who will be seen in the upcoming show Chooriyan Chali Gaon, says this new reality show is unlike anything people have seen before. 'Honestly, now I feel like I'm realising how different captive reality is… It's just crazy without the phone.
'
Known till now as Uorfi Javed's sister, Dolly is ready to carve her own space. 'People will also know me as Dolly Javed now. Urfi started her career first, but that's how it is. Many actors have siblings who follow the same path. I took up this show because I've got a chance to make my own personality, so let's just grab it. It'll give me visibility… making people aware that I exist.'
Dolly adds, 'It will give me freedom to show my personality.
I'll continue with content creation — I genuinely love that. Acting is something I would love to do, but first I want to learn it. Maybe work behind the camera, get experience, and then step in.'
Her relationship with Urfi, she says, is full of support, not pressure. 'It's a privilege. Being the youngest, I have sisters to guide me — or give me clothes for the show! Urfi advises me a little, but she lets me take my own decisions and learn from my mistakes.'
As for what to expect from the show, Dolly laughs, 'They're saying I have to touch Gobar and cook food — I don't even remember when I last made a roti.'

Anjum Fakih Explores Rural India In Chooriyan Chali Gaon, Calls It A ‘Return To Roots'
Last Updated: Anjum Fakih opened up about her journey in Chooriyan Chali Gaon and how the show brings her closer to her rural roots in Maharashtra. Actress Anjum Fakih is ready to join the new reality show Chooriyan Chali Gaon, which puts city dwellers in the middle of rural India. The show's twist struck a chord with Anjum the moment she heard about it, and it made her feel extremely rooted. The actress, who has appeared in hit Hindi serials, views this as something bigger than a television show. She feels it connects the dots between her present life in Mumbai and her humble beginnings in a small village in Maharashtra. Anjum Fakih's Story Begins In Chiplun According to The Times of India, Anjum said, 'I was born in Chiplun, Ratnagiri. We belong to the coastal belt of Maharashtra—simple, unassuming folks who eat fish, dal and rice." Though born in rural India, her life diverged from that track when her family moved to Mumbai at the age of two. She said, 'My childhood and schooling took place completely in the city. We would go to our village only for summer holidays, and even then, we weren't permitted to do any work—it was purely a holiday." This dichotomy between her origins and background then became an impetus for participating in the show. The experience provided her with something she hadn't previously done—live in a rural village to which she didn't belong. A Cultural Immersion That Is New 'What interested Anjum most about the show was being able to immerse herself in a rural environment she wasn't used to," said the producers. She continued, 'We just visited our village. I have not visited anyone else's village. India has numerous villages, and through this programme, I get to live, eat and develop relationships with people in one of those villages." Her statement shows how eagerly she wants to go beyond her comfort zone and experience a way of life that's quite different from what she has been used to in the city. In a world that is always proceeding towards modernity and Westernisation, Chooriyan Chali Gaon was a breath of fresh air for Anjum. She stated, 'Internationally, we've had lots of reality shows, but none that transport people from urban areas to rural areas. It was new, it was fresh, it was earthy. At a point when everybody's racing to westernise, here we're returning to our roots. That was the attraction." Anjum's experience on the show is not just fodder for the screen — it's an emotional journey back to simplicity. It's about testing a slower pace of life that's rooted deeply within Indian culture. view comments First Published: August 06, 2025, 18:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anjum Fakih: When everyone's chasing westernisation, here we are going back to our roots
Anjum Fakih will appear in 'Chooriyan Chali Gaon'. The show explores rural India. Anjum connects with her roots through the show. Actor Anjum Fakih is all set to be seen in the upcoming reality show Chooriyan Chali Gaon, which explores rural life in India through the eyes of participants from urban backgrounds. For her, the show resonates deeply with her own story. 'I was born in Chiplun, Ratnagiri. We are from the coastal side of Maharashtra—simple, humble people who eat fish, lentils, and rice,' she shares. However, her family shifted to Mumbai when she was just two. 'My upbringing and education happened entirely in the city. We used to visit our village only during summer vacations, and even then, we weren't allowed to do any work—it was strictly a break.' What intrigued Anjum most about the show was the opportunity to immerse herself in a rural setting unfamiliar to her. 'We only go to our village. I haven't been to anyone else's village. India has so many villages, and through this show, I get to live, eat, and build relationships with people in one of them.' She adds, 'Internationally, we've seen many reality shows, but none that take people from cities into the countryside. It felt new, fresh, and rooted. At a time when everyone's chasing westernisation, here we are going back to our roots. That's what drew me in.'
