The Traitors winner Uorfi Javed reveals suffering from body dysmorphia, talks about her struggle with mental health.
Uorfi Javed needs no introduction. She is quite well-known for her bold fashion choices and manages to turn heads with her style. Uorfi Javed manages to grab attention and this time she left everyone shocked with her lip filler removal pictures.
The actress and social media influencer Uorfi revealed a personal chapter from her past, which seems to be painful indeed. She revealed that she developed body dysmorphia and had harmful eating habits.
In a candid conversation with Anshula Kapoor on her YouTube show Bunkk with Uorfi, The Traitors season 1 winner spoke her heart out 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. 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, said Uorfi.
Uorfi's pursuit of a certain body type left her with emotional baggage. She said, 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?
Uorfi then revealed that she is now in a much healthier place and said that she has now started going to the gym. She even said that she started lifting weights and has started eating well too. Uorfi said that now she does not care about being skinny and has accepted her body.
Anshula and Uorfi spoke about their time on Karan Johar's reality series The Traitors. Anshula recalled how Uorfi initially resisted indulging in sweets on set and wanted to do a complete 180. She said that a couple of days, Uorfi would just smell the desserts, but by the third day onwards, she was like she wanted to eat them. Uorfi admitted she was stress eating during the shoot and eventually surrendered to her cravings. Despite all manipulation and challenges, Uorfi emerged as one of the winners of The Traitors along with poker player Nikita Luther.
