Fashion influencer-content creator Uorfi Javed recently revealed that she got an opportunity to make an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival this year, but couldn’t go because her visa was rejected. Now, she has posted another note on social media, stating that walking the Cannes red carpet is ‘not an achievement’ unless an individual’s film is being premiered. Uorfi also explained that brands usually sponsor influencers or celebrities and people even buy tickets to the prestigious film festival in France.
On Friday, Uorfi took to her Instagram handle and wrote on her story, “Going to Cannes is an opportunity which isn’t based on your merit. Brands buy tickets to the red carpet and give them to influencers/celebrities to represent the brand. Individuals can also buy tickets. Walking the Cannes red carpet is not an achievement, not even for me. It’s an opportunity to promote yourself. That’s the truth. Here I said it.”
She added, “Unless you’re film is being premiered at the festival (yeah then it’s an achievement), other than that anyone can do it (if you have money or brands are ready to sponsor you).”

Earlier, Uorfi Javed had shared a post about her visa rejection and business failure. Uorfi wrote, “I haven’t been uploading anything or been seen anywhere cause I was going through a phase. My business didn’t work. I tried a bunch of other different things only to face rejections.”
She added, “Got an opportunity to go to Cannes through Indie Wild. (Big big thank you to diipa khosla and kshitij kankaria) But as the fate would have it, my visa got rejected. I’m sure a lot of you guys must be going through rejections yourself and I would love to know your stories. Let’s support and uplift each other. Every rejection is an opportunity if you look carefully. After so many rejections in life. I am not stopping and so should not you.”
