Uorfi Javed Recalls Starving Herself To Look Thin: 'I Was Mentally F****d, Always Cranky'
Last Updated: Uorfi Javed reveals she struggled with body dysmorphia and starved herself to look skinny. In a candid chat, she admits to surviving on 3–4 chicken pieces a day. Known for her bold fashion choices and unapologetic public persona, Uorfi Javed recently revealed a deeply personal chapter from her past — one marked by body dysmorphia and harmful eating habits. In a candid conversation with Anshula Kapoor on her YouTube show Bunkk with Uorfi, the actress and social media star spoke about her experience with distorted body image and the impact it had on her physical and mental well-being. 'I developed body dysmorphia 3–4 years ago," Uorfi shared, opening up with unflinching honesty. 'I was starving. I stopped eating. I just wanted to be this really skinny person — like extremely skinny — so I just stopped eating. I would eat 3–4 chicken pieces a day and not even work out. I would just run." Her relentless pursuit of a certain body type came at a steep emotional cost. 'Mentally, I was f**ked. I was always cranky, I was always annoyed. If anyone spoke to me, I would be like, 'Why are you talking to me?'" she admitted. Fortunately, Uorfi says she's now in a much healthier place. 'Recently, I have started going to the gym. I've started lifting weights. I've started eating well. Now I don't care about being skinny," she added, embracing a shift in mindset toward strength and self-acceptance. The two also reflected on their time on the reality series The Traitors. Anshula recalled how Uorfi initially resisted indulging in sweets on set, only to do a complete 180. 'On the first couple of days, Uorfi would just smell the desserts, but by the third day onwards, she was like, 'I only want to eat desserts,'" Anshula said with a laugh. Uorfi admitted she was 'stress eating" during the shoot and eventually surrendered to her cravings, saying she ended up eating all the desserts available. Despite the highs and lows, Uorfi's resilience ultimately paid off. She emerged as one of the winners of The Traitors, sharing the victory with poker player Nikita Luther. Anshula Kapoor, who was also a contestant on the show, was eliminated in the eighth episode during the 'Circle of Shaq" segment. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 20:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anshula Kapoor shares how Maheep Kapoor's presence on 'The Traitors' gave her a sense of normalcy and safety
Anshula Kapoor , who recently got evicted from Karan Johar 's show " The Traitors ," has opened up about her experience on the reality show. Speaking to IANS, she revealed that having 'chachi' Maheep Kapoor by her side brought her a much-needed sense of normalcy and safety. When asked how important Maheep Chachi's presence was to her emotional strength, Anshula revealed that it made a world of difference. She shared, "She gave me emotional support . I had never done reality TV or any long-format project before. Usually, when you shoot something, you go home and decompress. But here, we were locked in. All the other contestants were strangers to me. Having Chachi there gave me a sense of normalcy and safety." For the unversed, Maheep Kapoor and Ashish Vidyarthi were voted out during a tense and dramatic Circle of Shaq, while the Traitors targeted and eliminated Mukesh Chhabra. The episode also saw Raftaar's unexpected exit, which came on the heels of an emotional breakdown by Sufi Motiwala. Talking about her eviction, she mentioned, "Actually, when I was voted out, my gut never once told me that Elnaz could be a traitor. I defended her strongly, though not all of it was shown on TV. I think that influenced people who were on the fence about me-they started doubting me because I backed her." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "In a way, my game ended when hers did.
