Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, also known as The Rebel Kid, recently talked about the hate she received after India’s Got Latent’s controversy. She stated that she had never seen such hatred in her career. The influencer further shared that even her mom got death threats and was slut shamed. Apoorva mentioned that she didn’t know about what was going on back at home until she checked up on her family. She then found out that her mother had high blood pressure after this incident. Apoorva also mentioned that she went to her hometown for a few days and her parents extended their support.
In an interview with Yuvaa, Apoorva Mukhija said “It was a lot. People found out my parents’ account. My mom’s account was public. When all of this was happening, for the initial two days, I was thinking about myself. I did not think about my parents. I did not know what was happening at home. My mom got a lot of R words and rape threats, slut shaming. I did not know till three days later, I called my brother and asked, ‘Ghar pe sab theek hai?’ He told me, ‘Mummy ka BP 180 X 120 hai’. He told me everything about the comments.”
“My dad always said ‘Samaj mein izzat rehni chahiye’. I just felt like he lost all of that in a second and I put them through all of that. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to fight for it. Everything that he was scared of came true. I put them through all of that,” she added.
Apoorva Mukhija further mentioned that despite getting hatred, her parents never complained. She also added, “She says she is fine. My parents have not complained even once. I went home for 15 days, I cried for 15 days. They always told me that it would pass. Nothing will happen.”
