Urfi Javed has won the reality show ‘The Traitors’, streaming on Prime Video, and has many fans cheering for her. Amid the love she has received, she has become the victim of online threats and abuse. She has now penned a note on Instagram, in which she called out the trolls and posted screenshots of the threats she received.
After winning the show, Urfi first talked about her journey from Bigg Boss to The Traitors. She 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. 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.”
Meanwhile, she was also subjected to brutal trolls and criticism due to her game on the show. She posted the screenshots of some people abusing and threatening her and called them out. Urfi 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.”
