Comedian and social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, widely known as “The Rebel Kid,” recently made headlines by deleting all posts from her Instagram account and unfollowing everyone. This move comes in the wake of the controversy surrounding the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent,” where she served as a judge alongside fellow comedians. The show became embroiled in a major scandal after influencer Ranveer Allahbadia made crude remarks about parents and sex during an episode, sparking public outrage.
Following the controversy, multiple complaints were filed in Mumbai against Allahbadia, Mukhija, and other comedians involved in the show, including Samay Raina and Ashish Chanchlani. The National Commission for Women (NCW) took serious note of the offensive remarks and summoned the comedians along with the show’s producers for questioning. Mukhija herself was accused of making an objectionable comment during the episode and appeared before the Mumbai police in connection with the case.
The backlash was swift and intense, leading to Mukhija’s decision to erase her Instagram presence. Her account, which boasts over three million followers, now displays zero posts and follows no one, although her Instagram Story highlights remain visible. This sudden digital cleanse has left fans speculating about her next move—whether she is planning a comeback or stepping away from the platform entirely.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia has returned to social media, announcing the resumption of his podcast, “The Ranveer Show.” The controversy has also reached the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear Allahbadia’s plea regarding the release of his passport. He has filed an undertaking promising to maintain decency in his shows moving forward.
Apoorva Mukhija has remained silent on the matter, refraining from making any public statements. Her absence from social media has extended beyond the controversy, with reports suggesting she has been traveling abroad. The situation continues to unfold, with fans and followers eagerly awaiting updates from the comedian.
