Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, widely known as Rebel Kid, has wiped her Instagram clean, deleting all posts just days after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made his return to social media following the India’s Got Latent controversy. While her account still boasts three million followers, all her posts and the list of accounts she followed have disappeared, leaving only her Instagram Highlights intact. This sudden move has sparked curiosity among her followers, particularly since it comes at a time when discussions around the controversy are resurfacing.
Apoorva Mukhija Deletes All Instagram Posts
The controversy in question stems from a February incident where Apoorva, along with Ranveer and comedian Samay Raina, faced backlash over alleged offensive remarks made on India’s Got Latent, a YouTube show hosted by Samay Raina. The remarks, initially intended as humor, drew significant criticism, leading to a complaint being filed against the trio. The issue escalated, prompting an inquiry by the National Commission for Women (NCW), during which both Apoorva and Ranveer recorded their statements before the commission’s chairperson and legal team. In one of her last public appearances, Apoorva was seen exiting a police station in Khar, Mumbai, covering her face with a mask and avoiding media questions.
Apoorva’s decision to distance herself from social media was evident even before she deleted her posts. Unlike her usual online presence, she refrained from promoting her supporting role in the recently released film Nadaaniyan and skipped the film’s premiere.
However, she did react to an Instagram Reel where influencer Sufi Motiwala praised her acting. Meanwhile, Apoorva was also spotted attending Sabrina Carpenter’s concert in Paris, where a TikTok video shared on Reddit alleged that she created a scene at the event.
