Actress and reality TV star Uorfi Javed, known for her bold fashion choices and unapologetic personality, shared an emotional message on Instagram after missing the opportunity to attend the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025. In an emotional note, Uorfi revealed that her visa was rejected, and that is why she didn't attend the ongoing event.
Uorfi also said that she was all set to attend Cannes through skincare brand Inde Wild and that she also had some 'crazy' outfit ideas for the red carpet.
Taking to her Instagram account on Wednesday (May 14), which is also the second day of Cannes 2025, Urofi wrote, "I haven't been uploading anything or been seen anywhere cause I was going through a phase. My business didn't work. I tried a bunch of other different things only to face rejections. Got an opportunity to go to Cannes through Inde Wild. (Big big thank you to Diipa Khosla and Kshitij Kankaria) but as the fate would have it my visa got rejected."
She added, "Was working on a few crazy outfit ideas, my team and I were very disheartened."
Despite her disappointment, Uorfi reminded her followers that rejection is a part of life.
"I'm sure a lot of you guys must be going through rejections yourself and I would love to know your stories. Let's support and uplift each other. Rejections aren't the end of the world. It should only motivate you to work harder. Please share your rejection stories using #rejected and tag me. Will share it only stories to motivate others. After rejections, feeling dejected and crying over it is normal. Infact healthy, even I do cry but what happens after? Every rejection is an opportunity if you look carefully. After so many rejections in life. I ain't stopping and so shouldn't you," her statement further read.
