Uorfi Javed has strongly condemned the online harassment directed at Elli AvrRam following a photo of AvrRam with Ashish Chanchlani that sparked dating rumors. Trolls subjected AvrRam to misogynistic comments about her "body count," a derogatory term used to shame women for their sexual history.
Javed, known for her outspoken nature and unconventional fashion choices, reposted an image highlighting the obsessive focus on AvrRam's past. She wrote, "The world is so so brutal to woman, just a girl absolutely minding her business, she ain't even controversial like me but guess what no hate to the man People love to villainize and hate women that's how they feel superior". Javed's statement underscores the double standards women face in the public eye, where their personal lives are often scrutinized and judged more harshly than their male counterparts.
The controversy began after Ashish Chanchlani, a popular YouTuber, shared a photo with Elli AvrRam on Instagram with the caption "Finally," leading to speculation about a romantic relationship. While many fans expressed excitement and congratulated the pair, some users resorted to slut-shaming and questioned AvrRam's character based on past relationships. Some comments went as far as to "warn" Chanchlani about AvrRam's alleged "body count".
In response to the trolling, Elli AvrRam shared a supportive message on her Instagram story, seemingly addressing the backlash. The message read, "Your sexiest body part is your mind," to which she added, "True story". This subtle yet powerful response was interpreted as a clap back to the negativity and a reminder to value intelligence and character over superficial judgements.
Numerous netizens have rallied to AvrRam's defense, criticizing the misogynistic nature of the comments and highlighting the hypocrisy of society. Many pointed out the double standards where male celebrities are rarely subjected to the same level of scrutiny regarding their personal lives. Some users humorously countered the trolls, with one writing, "Indian men trolling Ashish for Elli AvrRam's body count—bruh, y'all gonna end up with a 5ft Indian lady who comes with a moustache, shaggy skin, sasta white lady vibes, and the same body count". Others emphasized that AvrRam's past is irrelevant if Ashish Chanchlani is happy.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about online misogyny and the need to stop slut-shaming women for their personal choices. The support AvrRam received from fans and celebrities like Uorfi Javed demonstrates a growing awareness and rejection of these harmful attitudes.
