Uorfi Javed says she is receiving death and rape threats after winning The Traitors: ‘People have always doubted me'
Uorfi shared a video that opened with Karan Johar announcing her eviction from Bigg Boss OTT, then cut to her screaming that she won The Traitors. Sharing the clip, Uorfi wrote, 'From losing big boss (being the first one to be eliminated) to winning the traitors. The journey wasn't easy , how many times I've cried , I've had so many breakdowns , wanted to give up , wanted to leave everything and run away . Being called names, getting death, rape threats, the online hate, the offline hate but I never stopped . May be the universe knew I needed this.'
She added, 'When I lost Big boss I thought he lost my last chance at success or at having a good life, had taken udhaar from friends to get clothes to wear on big boss. At that time I didn't even know if I would be ever be able to repay that udhaar. People have always doubted me, even right now but this still won't stop me . The hate never has, never will stop me. I took out 3 traitors, that can't be luck. Till the last moment I didn't give up. Strategised.'

Although Uorfi's first post was met with many congratulatory messages, she continues to face online hate.
In another post, Uorfi Javed shared a series of screenshots filled with abuse and hate, and wrote, 'When we you don't like something a girl does, just drop the 'R' word. Not the first time I've been threatened or abused like this but this time it's not because of my clothes but because I won a show . Imagine being so petty that when your favourite player doesn't win you resort to abusing and threatening.'
'These are the most decent ones I uploaded . No matter what I do , people just love hating and abusing . Harsh ko na Nikalti toh Pyar me andhi, harsh ko nikal Diya toh dhokhebaaz. Purav ko Jeetne deti toh bewakoof, nahi jeetne diya toh cheater . Hate has never stopped me before , it never will now,' she added.

Janhvi Kapoor's Instagram message wrote- 'But these aren't just 'stray dogs.' They're the ones who wait outside your tea stall for a biscuit. The silent night guards for shopkeepers. The wagging tails that welcome children home from school. They're the warmth in a cold, uncaring city.

Large-scale sterilisation programmes, regular vaccination drives, designated community feeding areas, and proper adoption efforts. Not punishment. Not imprisonment. A society that cannot protect its voiceless is one that is losing its soul. Today it's the dogs. Tomorrow… who will it be?'
