A video against Urfi appeared on Mita Chaudhary’s Instagram. The video was later deleted. In this video, Urfi gave an explanation. Stating that he does not believe in any religion, Urfi also accused Meeta Chaudhary of spreading fake news.
In the viral video, Mehta Chaudhary says that Urfi is only famous for wearing semi-naked clothes. “They don’t do anything for fame except wear half-naked clothes. Urfi, who was a Muslim, has now announced that she has changed her name to Rita Bharadwaj. This means that they have transformed. They have turned from Muslims to Hindus,” Meta Chaudhary said in the video. The video also asked Urfi to show some “shame and modesty.”
“Such whistleblowers call themselves journalists! Auntie, please do your homework. I did not change my name or religion. I don’t believe in any religion,” Urfi wrote in response to the video.
“I am open not only about my clothes, but also about my words. But today I’m not in the mood. Just Google how many shows I’ve done. I’m ashamed of your poor makeup and journalism. If you want to blame, feel free to say so, but don’t spread fake news. Because I can’t do this to you, it’s not in anyone’s best interest, Aunty G,” she added.
Later, Urfi also shared the messages that Meta Chaudhary sent him. Urfi taunts that aunty is very angry. Urfi added that he sent extremely offensive messages that he could not publish, and then deleted the video and blocked it.
