Apoorva Mukhija, better known as The Rebel Kid, is making a powerful return to social media after a turbulent period of backlash and scrutiny. With over 3 million followers on Instagram, Apoorva has long been a voice for authenticity in the digital space, sharing her views and creative work with a growing audience. However, following her controversial appearance on India’s Got Latent alongside Samay Raina, Apoorva faced an onslaught of hateful comments and online abuse.
In response, she deleted all her posts, unfollowed everyone, and went silent on Instagram. But now, Apoorva is back with a strong and defiant message. She took to Instagram with two posts that communicate not just her return, but also the raw reality of online trolling and the power dynamics of digital storytelling.
One of the posts encapsulates her stance in a single line: “Don’t take away the story from the storyteller.” In the second post, Apoorva shared some of the horrific, inhumane comments she received during her absence, shedding light on the dark side of social media. Some of the comments included disturbing rape threats and even acid attack threats.
“And that’s not even 1%,” she captioned, emphasizing the magnitude of the abuse. The online vitriol serves as a stark reminder of how quickly internet trolls can escalate their behavior, with little to no accountability.

While some people supported Apoorva’s decision to defend herself, others criticized her for the remarks made during the show. Regardless, Apoorva’s comeback isn’t just about her return; it's a statement about the importance of standing up for one’s own narrative. As the digital world awaits more content from The Rebel Kid, it’s clear that her message will resonate far beyond the controversy she faced.
