Uorfi Javed talks about rape threats and early setbacks after The Traitors victory: ‘People have always doubted me, even now, but that still won’t stop me’

Social media influencer and reality TV star Uorfi Javed has made a powerful comeback, sharing her first Instagram post after winning the reality show The Traitors. In a heartfelt and candid message, Uorfi opened up about the painful yet inspiring journey that led her from early rejection on Bigg Boss OTT to triumphing in one of the most mentally challenging reality shows on Indian television.

Uorfi posted a dramatic video montage that begins with her eviction announcement by Karan Johar on Bigg Boss OTT in 2021, where she was the first contestant to be eliminated.

The video then transitions to her screaming in joy after being declared the winner of The Traitors. In the caption, Uorfi described the emotional and professional rollercoaster she’s been on over the past four years.
“From losing Bigg Boss to winning The Traitors, the journey wasn’t easy,” she wrote. “I’ve cried countless times, faced breakdowns, received rape and death threats, and been hated both online and offline. But I never gave up. Maybe the universe knew I needed this.”

Uorfi also revealed the financial and emotional struggles she faced after Bigg Boss OTT. She borrowed clothes from friends to appear on the show and was unsure whether she would ever be able to repay those debts. “I thought I had lost my last chance at a good life,” she admitted.

Despite being constantly doubted by others and facing relentless trolling, Uorfi said she never let the negativity define her path. “People have always doubted me—even now—but that still won’t stop me. Hate never has, and never will,” she wrote. She proudly noted that she strategically eliminated three traitors on the show and stayed resilient till the very end.

The finale of The Traitors, which aired on Thursday, crowned Uorfi and Nikita Luther as co-winners of the Rs 70 lakh prize. The season featured 20 celebrities including Maheep Kapoor, Raj Kundra, Raftaar, Karan Kundrra, and more. Uorfi and Nikita, both ‘faithful’ players, outsmarted the final traitors, Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha, in a tense final round.
