Many men now feel free to judge women, especially public figures and influencers. Recently, Indian content creator Rebel Kid, also known as Apoorva Mukhija, became the target of such negativity after news of her big achievement surfaced online. While many celebrated her success, others flooded the comments with rude remarks. Read on to know!

Yes, you read that right! Just one screenshot was enough to send the entire XY chromosome community into a complete spiral. They couldn’t digest the fact that she got into a prestigious university for her Master’s. Why? Because success like that is completely alien to them.
However, her fans didn’t hold back. They pointed out that Apoorva is pursuing a master’s in Computer Science Engineering, known as one of the most challenging courses. Fans also highlighted that the criticism appeared to come from insecurity rather than facts. They stated that a smart and successful young woman often faces unnecessary hate for simple things.
Honestly, much of the hate directed at the content creator stems from the fact that so many women love and support her. It’s a recurring pattern: whenever girls or women show strong appreciation for something, a lot of men and boys immediately start hating on it. We genuinely believe they should mind their own business and channel their energy into something more productive with their free time.
