Uorfi Javed lists reasons why she’s unable to find house on rent in Mumbai: ‘They’re scared what if…’

“I am still not able to find a house on rent. The owner, society, want to be your parents- You can’t do this, that, can’t get boys home, can’t cook non veg. Really?! Focus on your kids. You’re renting me your house, not becoming my relative, so let’s keep it like that. The reason (for not getting house on rent) is because I am single. Second, I am a Muslim. Now, Hindu owners have a problem that I am a Muslim and even Muslim owners have a problem that I will wear such clothes and it wouldn’t sit well in their community. So that’s their problem,” she said.

Uorfi Javed said another issue that has surprisingly cropped up is the unwillingness to rent houses to actors, as people feel they might end up committing suicide in their property. Also the social media sensation’s public image — that wherever she will go, controversy will follow — doesn’t help her cause.

“There is also this issue of being an actor. They have seen a few suicides in the acting field, in the industry in the last few years, so they are scared, that what if actors do the same thing in their house. But I feel mental health is a general issue, it’s just that when an actor does it, it gets highlighted.

“Then Uorfi Javed comes with a lot of controversies. Paps are also there but they are not coming inside the house! They are downstairs, clicking pictures, what is the need to control everything in others’ life? I don’t understand. I am not getting married just to get a house on rent,” she added.
