Urfi Javed slammed Sonali Kulkarni's take about women being dependent on men for their survival. Recently, during an event, Sonali called out 'fake' feminism and said that in today's times, women and girls are 'lazy and dependent' on their boyfriends, partners or husbands.

However, Urfi Javed doesn't agree with her. The Bigg Boss OTT actress shared the video on her Twitter, and criticised her views by saying, "How insensitive, whatever you said! You’re calling modern day women lazy when they are handling their work as well as household chores together? What’s wrong in wanting a husband whose earning good? Men for centuries only saw women as child vending machine and yes the main reason for marriage - dowry. Ladies don’t be afraid to ask or demand. Yes you’re right women should work but that’s a privilege that not everyone gets. You’re too entitled to see that may be."

Urfi's retaliation has met with mixed responses from netizens. A netizen wrote, "Behen, bekaar me point ko validate na karo. Insensitive -how? Isn't this rather empowering? She is NOT talking about women who handle profession and households." Another user wrote, "You said 'ladies don't be afraid to demand or ask' but you didn't mention from whom? If you're referring to unmarried females, then logically it should be their parents. Hopefully they'll fulfill all their demands and everyone will be forever happy. She is talking about ones who make it a plan to milch the husband for all her wishes and fancies." On the work front, Urfi was last seen in Spilitsvilla 14.
