Chetan Bhagat had recently spoken about Uorfi Javed, and said that the youth of this country, especially boys, were getting distracted by her. After Uorfi responded to Chetan’s remark, called him a ‘pervert’ and shared screenshots of Chetan Bhagat’s alleged WhatsApp messages that were leaked in 2018, during the Me Too movement, the author has reacted. On Sunday, he tweeted about the alleged WhatsApp messages that Uorfi was ‘spreading’ and called them ‘fake’. He also clarified that he never ‘criticized’ her.
During a recent event, Chetan Bhagat had said, “Phone has been a great distraction for the youth, especially the boys, spending hours just watching Instagram Reels. Everyone knows who Uorfi Javed is… What will you do with her photos? Is it coming in your exams or you will go for a job interview and tell the interviewer that you know all her outfits?”
In response to Chetan Bhagat’s comment, Uorfi Javed took to her Instagram stories and expressed her anger towards the author for blaming her clothes for men’s behavior. She wrote, “Men like him will always blame the women rather than accept their own shortcomings. Stop promoting r*pe culture you sickos out there. Blaming women’s clothes for the behavior of men is so 80s Mr Chetan Bhagat.” Moreover, she even shared screenshots of the author’s alleged chats that were leaked in the media during the MeToo movement.
The moment Uorfi Javed reacted to Chetan Bhagat’s comment, numerous netizens began lashing out at the author after which he tweeted again to clarify his side of the story. He wrote, “Have never spoken to/chatted with/met/ known someone where it’s being spread that I have done so. It’s fake. a lie. also a Non issue. Haven’t criticized anyone. And I also think there’s nothing wrong in telling people to stop wasting time on Instagram and focus on fitness and career.”
