Apoorva Mukhija reveals overcoming the controversy
Upon being asked if she is completely over the trauma of the controversy, The Rebel Kid stated, "Of course, yes. I think I was over it while it was happening. I just needed to get back on the internet to feel myself again, and I did that. I think I have now sort of reached this place where hate comments don't affect me at all because I went through so much. I think I am glad I went through that."
The Traitors contestant continued, "It was great. I really needed it. I really needed a reality check that Instagram, comments, views are not everything. You are your own person irrespective of what the internet thinks about you."
India's Got Latent controversy began in February 2025, after which the creators who appeared on India's Got Latent episode were mocked for their unacceptable comments.
Workwise, Apoorva Mukhija's recent project, The Traitors, has been the talk of the town. On the Prime Video show, she is praised for her intelligence and witty comments. The Traitors premiered on June 12.
