In an interview with ANI, Apoorva Mukhija shared that she would have been more mindful of her words if she had to shoot The Traitors after India's Got Latent controversy. She said, "I actually did the show before the controversy, so it couldn't have affected me. But had I done it after the controversy, I would have been a little bit mellower, more careful with my words."
She continued, "So I felt like I went all out because I had nothing to lose back then. And I was a much smaller artist. Had I done it later, I would have just been a little more mindful."
Furthermore, Apoorva Mukhija spoke about playing the game in The Traitors with her whole heart and mind. She mentioned that she knew people's perception would change, and she is happy that she could do that. The Rebel Kid further added, "The kind of love that I've gotten is just immense. It feels absolutely surreal."
