The India’s Got Latent controversy sent shockwaves through the country in February 2025. Among those caught in the storm was Apoorva Mukhija, a popular social media creator known as The Rebel Kid. A month after the incident, Apoorva shared an emotional confession video, addressing the matter head-on. The video quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions and piling up views by the day.
Just last night, Apoorva was spotted in the city by waiting paparazzi. Cameras flashed as she made her way through, but this time, instead of avoiding the spotlight, she stopped for a quick chat. Grateful for the support she had received in recent weeks, Apoorva took a moment to thank everyone for standing by her during what she called a difficult phase.
As conversations unfolded, she recalled how things used to be different with the media. Smiling, she told them how she once used to call the paparazzi herself, but no one turned up. Now, ironically, they arrived uninvited. The creators and the cameras shared a light laugh at the remark.
Before leaving, one reporter asked if she had a message for her fans. Apoorva opened up, admitting she had shed many tears during the controversy. She also highlighted the importance of having genuine people around. According to her, if you have real friends, everything eventually falls back into place.
Another question from the media touched upon whether she accepted her mistakes. Smirking, Apoorva replied, “Sir, kaise kaise sawal puch rahe ho. Sach toh mai nahi bol sakti hu na. Fir bhi, mujse galti ho gayi, muje maaf karo.” The candidness in her words revealed both regret and the pressure of public scrutiny. She went on to express how abusive language was unnecessary and added, “Gali galoch bilkul nahi karni chahiye. Koi mat kiya karo.”
When asked how she handles negativity, Apoorva kept it simple. She shared that she chooses not to dwell on it. According to her, the best way is to not give it any space in the mind and to move forward.
Amid all this, another special moment awaited her at home. Recently, the same confession video crossed one crore views. But it wasn’t just the numbers that made it memorable but it was her mother’s reaction. The first person to acknowledge the milestone was none other than her mother. Overwhelmed, Apoorva shared a screenshot of their conversation on her Instagram story.
In the chat, her mother congratulated her warmly, making the occasion extra meaningful. Sharing the image with her followers, Apoorva wrote, “My mom is the best thing that God has given me, honestly. I will never be able to say ki meri kismat kharab hai because I really, really won the lottery with my mom.”
She continued to reveal how her mother checks YouTube several times a day just to track her milestones. Apoorva admitted she herself hadn’t realised when the video hit a million, but her mother never missed a moment. Every time she reached a new figure, her mom was always the first to notice and celebrate it.
In a touching note, Apoorva described her mother as the living embodiment of unconditional support. “She clapped so hard, I didn’t notice who didn’t.” The post struck a chord with her followers, many of whom sent messages applauding the bond the two share.
