Uorfi Javed says she doesn't follow Islam as she questions benefit of renaming Lucknow

Bollywood actor Uorfi Javed is known for her bold fashion choices. She has often been the subject of internet trolls for her wardrobe choices although she seems to be paying little attention to what her detractors say about what she wears.

It appears that the actor isn't fearless just about her fashion choices, but expressing her opinion on other issues as well.

Taking to Twitter, Uorfi Javed on Thursday, posted an old news report about the proposal to rename Lucknow into Laxmanpuri and sought to know what benefit such a name change would result in.

"Faida batao koi Iska ? I want to stay In a democratic rashtra ! Neither Hindu rashtra nor muslim rashtra," she wrote.

Knowing fully well that her remarks would attract much criticism, Uorfi Javed clarified that she is not saying this because she is a Muslim. She said she does not follow Islam or any other religion.

"Before the Hindu extremists start attacking me let me tell y’all , I do not follow Islam or any religion as a matter of fact . I just don’t want people to fight because of their religion," the actor wrote.
