Urfi Javed struggles to find a home on rent in Mumbai because Muslims and Hindus both don't like her clothes

Social media influencer Urfi Javed, who remains in news most of the times due to her outlandish outfits, has again landed in a problem because of the way she dresses. Urfi is facing trouble in finding a rented accommodation. She thinks it is because of her outfits and her religion.

The 25-year-old girl, who comes from Lucknow, took to Twitter on January 24 to narrate her agony. "Muslim owners don't want to rent me because of the way I dress, Hindi owners don't want to rent me cause I'm Muslim. Some owners have an issue with the political threats I get. Finding a rental apartment in Mumbai is so tuff," she wrote.

Within a short time, her tweet went viral with many people sympathizing with her. While some also asked her to dress properly to get a accommodation in Mumbai. 

Being hindu or muslim or any religion or being single is not a problem miss.. The problem is the way you live, ur life style specially ur dressing sense which is unlimited bold. There r some rules n regulation to stay in some1 else's property.

A Twitter user who goes by the name, Abhishek Bhalerao, wrote: "Same situation, I hope you get a good place to stay Asap."

Urfi replied to him saying," It's literally Everytime Mahn, single, Muslim, actress- impossible to find a house."

Is Urfi the first one to face this? Though Urfi remains in news because of her controversies, the problem of finding a rented place, especially for Muslims is indeed an issue.

• In 2009, Bollywood actor Emran Hashmi had raised this issue of discrimination by the housing societies after he was denied a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from a posh housing society in Bandra to purchase a flat in the building.
• Hashmi had alleged that he was denied the NOC just because he is a Muslim as ge got to know through some people that the society was biased towards Muslims.
• And not just Emran Hashmi, television actor Aamir Ali too had echoed the same religious discrimination sentiment, when he was denied to purchase a property in Lokhandwala in Mumbai in 2006. The actor had said that the owner refused to sell his property because he was a Muslim.
