Uorfi Javed, who is no stranger to controversy because of her bold Instagram posts, has hit the headlines again for her new video, where she can be seen wearing earrings made of tomatoes!

Yes, you read that right – tomato earrings are a thing now.

In the video, where she can be seen wearing a black high waist skirt and what can only be described as a very cropped bikini top, Uorfi is sporting two red tomato earrings. In the video, she also takes a bite out of a third tomato that she has in her left hand, while she covers her modesty with the other hand.

In the captions, Uorfi wrote, “Tomatoes are the new gold.”

As tomato prices in the Delhi-NCR region hover around ₹150 per kg, Uorfi certainly has a point.
