Uorfi hits back
Apoorva and Uorfi initially bonded over a “sister code” pact, but their camaraderie took a drastic hit after a heated argument. A clip of the tense exchange has now surfaced on social media.
In the clip, Apoorva is seen getting emotional while missing her mother. Following this, Uorfi reaches out to her to ask her about what was wrong. Apoorva snapped and told her to give her space. This didn’t sit well with Uorfi, who later vented to Jannat Zubair and others, saying, “I do not like people speaking to me like this. She is not at my level.”
The clip was shared by Apoorva, writing, “Gotta give it to Urfi hum same level pe toh nahi hai (We are not on the same level)”.
Uorfi clapped back on her Instagram story by calling Apoorva “mannerless”. She responded, “Not at the same level cause mai is ladki ki tarah battameez nahin hu… Agar battameezi cool hai toh mujhe nahi banna cool gang ka part (Because I am mannerless like her. If one has to be mannerless to be part of the cool gang, then I don’t want to be part of the gang only)”.
In the show, Uorfi was heard talking about Apoorva, saying, “She was upset after the mission. So I asked her what happened. She got irritated. So I told her, if you’re the kind of person who’s going to snap, then I don’t want to be your friend. And I don’t wish to speak to you. And she says, not everything is about you. I am at a certain level, and I do not like people speaking to me like this. This…she’s not at my level. She needs to respect me. She’s my junior”.
