0

Urfi Javed has strongly condemned the wave of sexist trolling aimed at Elli AvrRam after a photo of her being carried by YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani went viral. The post, captioned “Finally,” sparked relationship rumors but also invited a barrage of derogatory comments about Elli’s personal life, particularly targeting her “body count.”

Uorfi called out the blatant double standards, pointing out how only women face such judgment and character attacks, while men involved are often spared from any backlash. She reshared some of the offensive comments on her Instagram story and wrote, “The world is so brutal to women… No hate to the man. People love to villainize and hate women; that’s how they feel superior.”

Elli, meanwhile, responded with poise, stating, “Your sexiest body part is your mind,” in what many took as a dignified clapback to the hate. Uorfi’s vocal support of Elli highlights the persistent misogyny women face online, especially when it comes to their relationships and personal choices.
