While talking about fame and popularity on Uncancellable with Uorfi Javed, Rohan Joshi shares, “One of the things that I like being in Mumbai is especially it taught me to be very humble, about popularity, very early.” “I live in a city where I have seen real fame. I’m famous with a small “F”. “I live 4 km away from Shahrukh Khan in this direction and 3 km away from Amitabh Bachchan’s house in this direction.

Inside Uncancellable with Uorfi Javed: Uorfi’s Fear of Fading Fame & Rohan’s Resilience
In a candid conversation on Uncancellable with Uorfi Javed, Rohan says he doesn’t have any life lessons, but one thing he learnt is that – you fall down & get up, and find the things that keep you going. “In my case, it was as simple as I’m just gonna keep writing comedy. The thing I always keep coming back to is – I will write and write and write and I will get up on the stage and write or I will make a video or I will make a reel.” Rohan adds, “then there’s the other important things in life like friends and the people you love and the people that love you. Then you also realize that life is more than amazing as AIB was, as amazing as my life and career is right now.
Uorfi replied saying “I differ, I feel scared that the popularity that I have should only go up. I’m scared that if it goes away, I can’t go back to being not a popular person anymore.”
Rohan expresses his fear regarding algorithms and aging. He realizes that at some point, regardless of effort, algorithms may no longer value one’s content. He has made peace with the fact that there will be days with zero likes, zero followers, and followers lost. Uorfi shares her nightmare and not being able to sleep if her likes or followers decrease. Uorfi emphasizes the importance of her followers for her success, stating that she is very ambitious and not laid-back.
