Javed, who is known for her sharp retorts, further said: "Just because you're a pervert doesn't mean it's the girl's fault or what is she wearing. Unnecessarily dragging me in a conversation, commenting on how my clothes are distracting young boys is such as f***ed thing to say. You messaging girls isn't a distraction for them? @chetanbhagat (sic)."

Talking about the video, she said, "I don’t understand one thing. What was the need to mention my name at a literature festival?" She also commented on screenshots of Bhagat's viral WhatsApp messages that were leaked during the #MeToo movement.

Meanwhile, Uorfi is currently seen on the dating reality show Splitsvilla X4. She is seen making a connection with her co-contestant Kashish Thakur.
