[bunniefuu]

Let's get it

Let's get it

I am the queen

All eyes on me

It's Mom's birthday.

And all of us decided

that we should give her a makeover

because she's never had a haircut.

She is extremely attached to her hair.

-Today is your day, Mom.

-Every day is about you, Uruusa.

Every day, everything is about me.

Uruusa, you do act like a child.

That's because I am a child at heart, Mom.

But you look 40.

You're saying I'm as old as Mom.

Like there was a movie called Paa,

there will be a movie on you called Maa.

That was hilarious!

A young mom and an old daughter!

And, Uruusa, will you be doing this?

No, Mom, Uruusa will do

-Hi.

-Hi, how are you?

Ma'am, we have Robin here.

He's our hair expert.

-Hi. Robin. How are you?

-Hi, Robin.

Today we're here to give her a

-makeover.

-Okay.

Also, in the past 45 years,

she's never had a haircut.

Okay.

So even if she keeps

saying not to cut it,

give her something which will look young.

-Okay.

-Sit.

Let's just start.

-You can do this.

-All the best.

-It's her birthday, by the way.

-Okay.

-So, it's a birthday makeover.

-Happy birthday, ma'am.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

I think Mom is having a little

anxiety about getting a haircut.

She is trying to act chill.

Like, "It's okay, it's just hair."

Irrespective of the hairstyle, the only

thing I was nervous about was

them cutting my hair too short.

Whatever hairstyle they give me.

-How are you feeling, Mom? Light?

-Very sad.

Why do you have to be sad?

As Mom was getting a haircut

and her hair was getting shorter,

she had tears in her eyes.

There is no need to cry.

She is crying.

Dolly? Asfi?

Why are you crying?

-I knew it.

-Oh my God.

She's crying.

I started feeling bad, that "Oh, my God.

She's crying because of me."

She's crying on her birthday.

I wanted it to be fun for her.

Her hair has existed since she's existed.

And girls have a different

attachment to their hair.

-So yeah, she was crying.

-My long hair was cut short.

I wasn't feeling good about

how short my hair had become.

I think you should get it

cut just for moral support.

-Should I get a haircut for moral support?

-Exactly.

-So that she can also do it.

-Yeah and support Mom!

I swear if my hair were longer,

I would have gotten a haircut myself.

In fact, I've already cut them short.

I also had hair this long.

Stop it, Mom. It's alright. You look nice.

Your hair will grow back.

I swear, they will grow back.

Okay fine,

I'm getting it done only for you.

I had no objection to getting a haircut.

I was fine.

Like, "Let's get a trim

to boost her morale.

It's not a big deal. It's just hair."

Why are you getting it done unnecessarily,

and sacrificing your hair?

That is exactly my point!

-For moral support.

-Exactly.

As soon as I flipped my hair, I noticed

that my length had become much shorter.

And then the tears didn't stop.

She is crying.

And, I am like,

"What's wrong with this girl?"

Uruusa, that much hair hasn't been cut!

Don't talk to me now!

My hair has become even

shorter than Mom's now.

I look like an ugly pig.

That's your face!

For me, my hair was an emotion.

While trying to boost her morale,

my morale fell to a record low.

-You sat on the chair

-Don't

Don't talk to me right now!

Please, don't.

-Then why did you sit in that chair?

-Don't talk to me now!

She sat on the chair herself!

Don't talk to me now!

They barely trimmed two inches,

and she started howling,

overreacting, "You did this!"

She's acting as if

I have cut her hair myself.

Leave me alone.

I don't want to get it done.

To be very honest, I was right there.

I'm the one who told him,

"Cut a little more."

It was me.

But then she got mad at Uorfi,

and I was like "Leave it.

I don't want to get abused.

So, it's okay."

Uruusa, it's just hair.

Oh my God!

-Tell him to stop as well.

-Let it be.

But Mom, we didn't force her.

-No one forced her.

-She sat on the chair herself.

Uruusa was only trying to be a hero,

but it didn't work.

Nothing looks nice.

I am looking ugly.

Look

Look, she can't even walk!

What the hell was I thinking?

It was Mom's birthday.

It was Mom's makeover day.

But, since Uruusa has

main character syndrome,

so she made it all about her.

That "My hair was cut shorter than Mom's."

Brother Imran.

I want to talk to you guys only.

Where will I go if you run away?

Where is the car parked?

-The car is parked over there.

-What happened?

-Uruusa, can you

-Don't talk to me now! Don't call me.

We have to leave! We have to

set your hair and we've to leave for the

I don't want to set my hair!

You are acting like your head

has been shaved, Uruusa. So much drama.

I don't want to set anything!

You guys got my hair cut

way too short from the back.

She's acting like a child. Crazy.

If some outsider had seen her,

or maybe the other clients,

they would have thought she lost her mind.

How did they allow a madwoman to enter?

Then, for us

We were normal.

Because we knew it. It's Uruusa.

My face seemed bigger, and my cheeks

seemed bigger because of this haircut.

My neck was looking stout.

I had a lot of feelings,

which I cannot express.

Your hair is looking so nice now.

Just look at it.

You look ten years younger.

And after this, I'll take you for Botox,

and you'll lose ten more years.

I've never seen Mom with short hair.

Always seen her with really long hair.

And I was really happy

to see the end result.

"Wow, she's looking gorgeous."

People should accept

change at some point.

The haircut was a step,

towards maybe accepting Mumbai

as her new home.

Uruusa, listen

Please let it go.

We are sorry.

It's Mom's birthday.

We are going out for dinner.

Please come with us?

And you made me the

scapegoat on Mom's birthday,

is that what you are saying?

As I was leaving, you guys were making

fun of me, behind my back

Even though I can't look,

but I do have ears. I could hear you.

So what was that?

It's not the first time

she has done something like this.

Earlier, she'd run away from home

after having lots of arguments.

And I feel like she's got

this trait from her father, somehow.

He was exactly like this.

First fight. And then leave.

Once she calmed down,

she would come back home.

Can you check your social media?

Check what I posted.

What?!

I downloaded an app just for fun.

To see how would I look

with bigger boobs.

So I just posted a poll, asking

"Should I expand my business or not?"

Bro, sh*t.

What sh*t?

Mom, Uorfi's asking in the post whether

she should get bigger boobs or not?

That's your personal opinion.

What are the people going to say?

People will tell me whether

I should get it done or not.

So far, I've received 200 replies

on the poll within two minutes.

And 62% of people think I should,

38% think, "No."

And tell me what's the percentage

of boys and girls in that?

Why should I be concerned about that?

What if people say no?

Then I'll do another poll.

-About what?

-"Should I take your opinion or not?"

I was shocked but not too shocked

because Uorfi is capable of anything.

She is Uorfi, right?

-Hi, Uorfi.

-Hi, Aakanksha.

Uorfi, I saw the post.

We spoke about this,

we were not going to post it.

I I thought it's funny.

This is not the angle

I want to take with this, Uorfi.

We have a bigger opportunity with this.

My opportunities are so small right now.

I want bigger opportunities,

that's why I did that poll.

You are wearing just a top.

Forget about boobs,

people might assume other things.

I want them to think about it.

Think about boobs.

That's exactly what I want them to think.

I am not on board with this, Uorfi.

Her intention was for it to just be fun.

A lot of things need

to be managed with it though.

After this big win that we've had,

with this dress.

Suddenly to do that,

was coming back to zero, right?

In fact, going to minus.

I think it's okay.

-Bad decision.

-Okay for you, Uorfi.

-It's not okay for everyone.

-It's not a bad decision.

-No.

-It's still 59-41.

I think we're going to win.

I am getting a boob job.

We'll see.

So, after 24 hours we noticed

that it didn't perform.

Nothing much happened with the poll,

so we decided to set a meeting with her.

When you are talking about

"Expand your business,"

people are confused.

So those votes were useless.

They don't mean anything.

Even if it had gone viral,

we would have received media queries.

-But we didn't get a single

-Not even a single post.

I didn't post it to make it viral,

or make headlines.

I did it for my own fun.

You please have fun.

You don't have fun with

your public reputation.

You saw what magic

that blue dress created.

Within a single day 24 hours,

Diet Sabya went on to say

you need to get your own Met Gala.

Imagine, we created that

perspective and positioning

just from fashion.

Suddenly,

there is a picture of you with boobs.

After creating such a classy perception.

That was my magic.

Of course.

-Absolutely. Complete credit

-That was my magic.

Complete credit.

We don't want to be queen of controversy,

but we need controversy on our side.

Please delete it.

I am very okay with it being deleted.

Please, do it now.

-Now?

-Right now.

Okay, I am not deleting it.

I am archiving it.

Archive it.

Just take it away from the feed.

It's done.

She wanted to have a

one-on-one conversation with me.

The others left the room.

It was just me and Aakanksha chatting.

You are going to launch a business,

as an entrepreneur, right?

-Yeah, that is extremely important.

-That is your next big project.

For that we need respect.

At some point,

you will raise funds in the future.

We are talking about

nipple pasties, right?

We are talking about body shapewear.

That has to be for women

who believe "I can own this."

With a post like that,

it doesn't look like we are owning it.

It seems like we are making fun of it.

I didn't think so extensively

while making this post.

This was in a very

-fun way.

-But as a celebrity,

it's your responsibility.

People look up to you.

I have to be careful.

I never thought so extensively

before doing anything.

Now I have realized that

I have to adjust slightly,

I will have to listen to

what the people want.

Any actor or celebrity can

never be successful, with hard work alone.

You cannot say random things

or do random actions,

because it can have a negative impact.

One wrong step

and the empire is doomed.

Tell me more about the brand.

What is it? How far are we?

-We are nowhere right now.

-Okay.

We have to meet a lot of people,

celebrities.

But I have no friends in this field.

-You do have friends.

-Who?

Abu Jani. Sandeep Khosla.

He's not my friend.

But article after article,

they have praised you.

But I can't ask these people for help.

Why not? Just try.

-Try what?

-Reaching out.

You are a person who has

a certain kind of following.

4.6 million people is not a joke.

Why should I reach out now?

Just catch up with a cup of coffee.

Catch up.

I have texted him.

Good start.

-Okay, I'll see you after we've met.

-Thank you. See you.

Bye.

My next step is to set up a meeting

with Sudeep,

who is the main man for Social Nation.

Social Nation is a huge and wonderful

platform for Uorfi

to network, where she can meet people.

She can meet her audience.

Also, a great place to start

changing her positioning

from somebody who is a creator,

to somebody who is a personality.

An artist.

Social Nation is a two-day event,

where the objective was to get

the entire digital world on the ground.

So people can meet their

favorite celebrities.

And see them up close.

How many people attend?

So last year we had

about 20,000 in two days.

This year we are expecting slightly more.

-Oh, my God.

-There are three stages. Red carpet.

And finally,

we're having a meet-and-greet,

where you will get a 30-minute slot.

What if no one comes to meet me?

-That's

-That's not possible.

-That is possible. I don't have fans.

-Not possible.

-Of course, you do.

-I have haters.

Then, from six o'clock onward,

stage three starts.

We're calling it the sundown stage,

where we have high-energy

dance performances.

The bigger comedy acts.

Band performances are happening there

That is where you are going to be.

-Honestly, I do not consider myself

-I know.

-a "creator" creator.

-I know.

And I can definitely not perform.

Posing in front of paps is one thing,

and performing on stage is another.

Even the thought of

it makes me want to puke.

-I have that stage fright.

-Stage fright? No

Because I've not been on stage ever.

The way I would see it, Uorfi, is that

the whole world has seen you

with the way you are on social media.

-Yeah.

-Right?

Let them probably see

a different side of you.

Honestly, I am not someone

who talks a lot of emotions.

I have a very dark humor,

because of my dark past.

I want to do a stand-up or

something funny in the beginning.

-Of course.

-I will end with,

"Everyone, open your social media

and Follow Kar Lo Yaar."

Correct.

I feel I haven't achieved

anything in life, to have fans.

I am not Shah Rukh Khan,

but I like challenging myself.

I like doing things,

where I feel,

"This is going to be tough."

I thought it was a good opportunity.

How do you cope with the trolls?

Initially, you have to

I developed a wall.

Like, "Doesn't matter.

Doesn't make a difference."

Doesn't matter the first couple of days,

but eventually, it does.

Do you feel the judgment

people form about you is wrong?

I feel there is going to be judgment.

I cannot expect the whole

world to think positively about me.

Correct. That's true.

-That's impossible and impractical.

-Right.

And the day there is no judgment,

my career will be over.

Honestly?

Of course,

my career is based on people judging me.

Making jokes on me.

But I have monetized through it.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-If I am monetizing that hate,

then why should I cry

that people are hating me?

You think More than haters

you're also an inspiration?

I don't want to have this notion,

that I am a role model.

I am an inspiration.

I am not and I don't want to be.

I am just

-I am just doing this for myself.

-Sure.

And doing it to do well and

If you are drawing inspiration from this,

that's good.

That this girl is doing it for herself.

Draw inspiration from this.

I wasn't born without purpose,

and I know this.

I'll be one of the richest

and the most famous people

in the world one day.

I just know it.

Harshita is my best friend.

We are always chilling.

So we planned to go for a coffee.

I had a lot of gossip to discuss,

and it had been a while.

So, I was like, "Let's Goss!"

Did you vote on Uorfi's poll.

It just clicked to me.

That poll Uorfi posted?

About her breast implant.

I don't think she should get it done.

Even I feel your sister doesn't need it.

-I mean she is already quite pretty.

-I think

Uorfi has a personality

where she is herself,

and she is so confident about it.

-Exactly.

-Why get anything changed?

Exactly.

-What

-Who is texting you? Show me.

It's a friend of mine.

He's also changed the password

to his phone. I don't know why.

With time, Sahel became more chilled out,

and I felt he was taking me for granted.

At least talk to me. Listen to me.

If I am saying something,

don't be glued to your phone.

Be a little attentive.

Why be so chill?

-I am thinking of moving to Qatar.

-Why?

A friend of my dad said

there was a job opportunity.

If it's a good job,

with a good package, I will consider it.

No long distance, Sahel.

Oh, no

These things happen.

It's time to earn some money.

-Later, we can

-I will earn money, you just stay.

Then you will start taunting me.

For me, it's important for the

relationship to work out.

Obviously, I didn't start dating him

so we can split after some time.

I was thinking

what we have is long-term.

You will be bored alone.

Why bored? They have cricket in

Qatar as well. I'll be engrossed in that.

So, you'll have your cricket,

make new friends

You thought about all that

but not about our relationship.

If I don't think about all this,

our relationship will remain stagnant.

So are you okay with long distance?

-Are you okay with long distance?

-No.

Then I'll convince you.

Why are you scared?

Tell me what could go wrong.

It's not just that

I think she will

really miss you.

Of course, she will.

But our parents have raised us.

So we have to listen to them as well.

At least, we can tell them

this is right and this is not.

We cannot ignore their POV.

Whatever you think is right.

Asfi is an over-emotional girl.

We have to think about our future,

if we want to make it better

then we must make strong decisions.

If I don't let him go,

I am the bad girlfriend

who's stopping him.

And if I am letting him go, then I am

the sad girlfriend who's crying.

So, I don't know.

I am going for the

Social Nation red carpet,

so I really wanted to wear

a good designer piece.

So Krésha Bajaj is a very popular,

exciting, young designer.

-This is a big event that is happening.

-Okay.

Social Nation. I want you to

get me something which will tell a story.

-Okay.

-My story, in your way.

So, should we try on a bunch of pieces?

And then let's make something fabulous.

-Okay. We should do it.

-Done? Ready?

This is amazing.

Oh, wow. I love this! Wow!

-Amazing.

-I think I'm sold on this only.

This is also so nice.

So I had a meeting with Krésha,

and we also finalized the outfit.

I have a good feeling,

that since everything is going well

all will be well on stage too.

Today is the day to meet with Revurge,

and we'll discuss a revised

business plan today.

Discuss brand names.

I am very excited and finally

today we can start going.

Akshit is already in the office,

for the meeting.

And Mansi and Vinav have joined

on a video call from LA.

-Hello.

-Hi!

So, solution wear

was what we had discussed,

that we need to get something

for confident women.

For having that expression

of me as a person, etc.

And we want this brand

to exude confidence.

So the first name was

We came up with "The Uplift Project."

-"The Uplift Project"?

-Yeah.

What is this?

It sounds like we are starting an NGO.

-No, it's

-"The Uplift Project."

Like we're running an NGO for boobs.

"Uplift Project."

Brand name two is "SKNFI."

Again, we've merged two things.

-Skin and last two letters of Uorfi.

-"SKNFI." Yeah, "SKNFI" is nice.

The last name was "UFFME."

Again, an amalgamation of

a part of Uorfi,

and then more about me.

Again, this boosts self-confidence.

Again, the personality connection.

I really liked "SKNFI" and "UFFME"

but the logos didn't appeal to me.

But of course, I understand

it was just for the presentation.

As we venture into it,

we'll definitely change the logos.

"UFFME" is something Uorfi is

moving towards for now.

She likes it.

-Sure?

-Done Sure.

So the step that comes

after that is the investment.

I said launch is generally

the easiest part of the business.

Then comes the money flowing in.

So, for the investments, I think

we'll need one and a half crore rupees.

To start a brand.

What?

I have to pay one and a half crore rupees

to start a business.

I couldn't I couldn't digest that.

How did it exceed from 40 lakh rupees

to one and a half crore rupees?

Minus 30 lakhs from one and a half crore,

so about 20 percent went into

marketing cost approximately.

About 25-28 percent is what goes

into the cost of goods.

After that, the warehousing cost

is nearly ten percent.

Seven percent is the shipping cost.

Three to five percent

is the payment gateway cost.

So all of this adds

up to that 1.50 crores.

So this is not only to launch the brand

but this one and a half crore

is also required to operate your brand.

What about the co-founder?

I said let's have a co-founder.

I think when we take things ahead, Uorfi,

at least we'll have clarity on phase one.

What does it even look like, right?

Once we start this the moment

you show some traction,

some numbers, co-founders,

and investors,

both the doors will open simultaneously.

But this is not the right time

for either of the conversations.

If you want to do this, we'll do it.

Revurge will hold

your hand all throughout.

With investors, without investors.

Let's make it happen.

If I don't have the money,

what the hell are they going to hold?

If I don't have money in hand,

what are you going to hold?

No one holds your hand without money.

When I came for the meeting,

I thought as the meeting ended,

we'd sign a few papers and start.

But now even after

the meeting ended,

I don't even know

what will happen.

I don't know how we will start this brand.

And how

Can we even start it or not?

-Hold on. Listen.

-What?

Besides everything,

we still have Social Nation.

I think right now you should

concentrate on that. Okay?

-Yeah, okay.

-Because that's going to be

a good opportunity. Just

-Bye.

-Okay, bye.

-Think over it. Please.

-Yeah.

I was also doing Social Nation

to be more visible,

which would be better for the brand.

Better for the business.

It will help the business.

But I don't know whether

I even have a business or not.

I don't understand anything.

-Would you like to have tea?

-Yes, go ahead.

Do you like ginger?

Get some ginger from there.

What happened?

I went in to make some tea,

and I took the tetra pack and

I am so stupid that I took the tetra pack

and used my teeth to tear it.

I don't know why.

Is that your tooth?

I broke my tooth.

How is it looking?

Horrible.

Very funny.

Doesn't look too bad.

Looks okay to me.

I had completely forgotten

that my teeth were fake.

They are all veneers.

And one of my veneers chipped off.

I have an event in the afternoon.

-Oh no.

-How can I attend without a tooth?

So, I was like I am dead.

Good God.

Should I cancel everything?

The sh**t and everything.

This would be my first

performance and I am toothless.

I don't even need a speech.

I could just go and smile like this.

Bye, Mom.

But finally, the doctor gave

me an appointment, so we were saved.

So we quickly took the veneer

and dashed to the dentist.

What I am doing today

on the stage of Social Nation,

is not a brand collaboration, nor a sh**t.

I am not getting paid for it.

I am doing something

out of my comfort zone.

And I am nervous but also very excited.

The atmosphere felt very unique

Like I was in a mini

Coachella or something.

The red carpet event was huge

because of the huge crowd attending.

Several creators and even celebs.

A lot of commotion.

The commotion by the audience

at the back, paps, etc.

And now to close the carpet,

we have the stylish, the beautiful

Uorfi!

Uorfi!

People were screaming like madmen!

There were thousands

of people cheering for her.

She slayed it.

And then we posed for the paps

and I was in my element

and enjoying it a lot.

What's up?

-How are you?

-Good.

I am good, how are you?

You look amazing.

Thank you. So do you. I love the color.

Oh really?

Are you going on stage today?

Are you performing?

-Yeah. I've never performed on stage.

-No, it'll be fine.

The audience is so chill.

You'll love it.

For now, I am just trying to

But it'll be fine.

It's going to be a lot of fun today.

First time on stage,

but thank you so much.

Stay in touch.

I will message you.

-Yeah, okay. Bye.

-I'll see you backstage.

Yeah, bye.

What's up?

Give me a few tips on how

you guys don't get nervous out there.

-Don't rush it.

-Okay.

Calm down.

And say every line in a relaxed way.

And what do you do if you ever forget?

Try to remember.

Say random things.

You are going to pull it off.

You are a camera person.

I keep saying that I don't want to

go to the influencer events

and meet other creators.

I don't know why I keep

saying I don't want to go.

But, today when I met

Prajakta and Munawar,

they were very sweet to me.

It felt good.

-I have something for you.

-What did you get?

You didn't need to.

That's so sweet.

A fan came to visit and gave me a hoodie.

It was a cute hoodie,

and it had Uorfi Javed written on it.

And then I decided I was going

to wear this for my performance.

Make some noise for Uorfi, everybody!

-You look like a barbie today.

-You too.

-Look at you

-Yeah, we are twinning.

I am a big fan of you.

I love your hair.

Do you want an autograph?

To my surprise,

there were a lot of people.

Some had brought gifts,

saying good things about me.

I was not expecting it at all.

I was very touched. It was crazy.

Uorfi! Uorfi!

We love Uorfi!

There is so much faith in the world!

I think, now I'm getting nervous.

Oh, my God. I think I am going to leave.

I can't perform.

My act was one of the closing acts.

As my performance grew closer,

my nervousness was growing.

Put your hands together

Munawar Faruqui!

As soon as Munawar entered,

the crowd went crazy.

No promises to bring

And honestly, that made me more nervous.

If Munawar has increased

the expectations on stage,

what am I going to do out there?

Hope the audience

doesn't get disappointed.

Thank you so much. I love you.

We convinced Uorfi

that you know how to talk,

and you know what your audience wants.

Breathe and go on stage.

I was just praying

that she would give

an incredible performance.

Are you guys ready for the next act?

She is an internet sensation!

The only Uorfi!

Uorfi!

Where am I supposed to stand?

I am used to paps guiding me,

like "Ma'am left, ma'am right."

I am not used to being on stage.

The first time I walked on stage

and saw so many people.

Even I am nervous along with Uorfi.

I know that the crowd can boost

a person's confidence and also shatter it.

I want to convey a message.

DIY.

Do it yourself.

You have to build

your own path to success.

People keep saying "Manifestation."

"If you want something

from all your heart,

then the entire universe

conspires to let you have it."

The universe doesn't conspire.

Doesn't the universe

have anything better to do?

The universe can only reward you.

It is not going to make the way for you.

Let me share my success story with you.

There was a time when

I had no money to buy clothes.

And look at me today.

I'm making clothes from knives,

daggers, spoons, and blades.

Someday I'll make clothes out of clothes!

Uorfi! Uorfi!

She was so good.

I mean she made it look

like it wasn't her first time.

You know she performed like a pro.

I felt proud of Uorfi.

My child is performing on the stage.

That's it, guys.

Uorfi Javed signing off.

Thank you.

When I walked out of that stage,

I was confident.

I felt a sense of achievement.

I've seen several interviews where

you are talking nonsense for no reason.

Zip this a little bit.

No investor will invest in you

in such a small market.

Why don't you buy a Range Rover?

You can buy a Range Rover,

or a Bentley, or a Lamborghini.

I wasn't laughing at you.

Uruusa did laugh at you.

Have you become two-faced?

Let us present a new Uorfi.

One, two, three, four
