Mumbai— Social media influencer Faizan Ansari sparked controversy after claiming that actress and fashion influencer Uorfi Javed had been “expelled” from Islam and would now be called Geeta Bhardwaj.
Ansari shared the claim in a video on his social media, alleging that a decision had been made by members of the Muslim community to disassociate Javed from Islam. He accused the actress of insulting the religion and stated that she no longer believes in the Quran or Islamic practices.
In the video, Ansari said, “Her name was Muslim till now, Uorfi Javed. She is a very bad girl who has ruined the name of Muslims across the world… So finally, we Muslims have decided that Uorfi Javed is not a Muslim anymore. Her new name is Geeta Bhardwaj.” He added that he had submitted a letter to a Maulana, described as a community head, regarding the decision.
Uorfi Javed, who has gained attention on social media for her bold fashion choices and outspoken persona, has frequently been at the centre of public debate and controversy. (Source: IANS)
