Uorfi shared an edited video that started with Karan Johar announcing her eviction on Bigg Boss OTT. Next, she was seen on The Traitors screaming that she had won the show.

She also revealed that she had to borrow clothes to wear inside the Bigg Boss house.
Uorfi on receiving hate, death and rape threats
She opened up about her journey in the last few years. "From losing Bigg 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. Maybe the universe knew I needed this," she wrote.
Uorfi revealed that after getting evicted from Bigg Boss, she wondered if she would be able to have a "good life". 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 (loan) from friends to get clothes to wear on Bigg Boss. At that time, I didn't even know if I would ever be able to repay that udhaar (loan)."
"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 three traitors, that can't be luck. Till the last moment,t I didn't give up. Strategised," concluded her post.
