Apoorva Mukhija Returns to Social Media Amidst ‘India’s Got Latent’ Controversy and Online Threats

Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as ‘The Rebel Kid,’ has made a bold return to social media following a period of silence triggered by massive online hate and threats. After facing immense backlash over her appearance in the controversial episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’, Apoorva disappeared from the public eye, only to return recently with a deeply emotional and defiant message.

In her comeback post, she bravely revealed the scale of harassment she has endured — including countless rape, acid attack, and death threats. Her caption, ‘This is not even 1%’, accompanying screenshots of abusive messages, illustrates just a glimpse of the overwhelming hate she received. Her intention in returning wasn’t just to resume content creation, but to confront and expose the toxic culture that thrives online.

The backlash initially stemmed from a controversial conversation in which certain remarks sparked public outrage. However, what followed went far beyond criticism. Apoorva found herself at the receiving end of a vicious wave of trolling and threats that left her emotionally drained and forced her into temporary silence.

Despite deleting her past posts, her return shows courage. She’s not asking for sympathy — she’s demanding accountability. Her recent words reflect her determination to not let fear or hate define her journey. ‘You tried to scare me. I let you think you succeeded for a while. I’m back,’ she wrote, with a tone that’s both pained and powerful.

Her post also brings attention to the larger issue of cyberbullying and the disproportionate scrutiny that women — especially outspoken ones — face online. The normalization of threats under the guise of criticism is a growing concern, and her experience is one among many that underline the urgent need for better digital safety laws and stronger community accountability.

Apoorva’s voice, though momentarily silenced, now echoes louder than ever — not only calling out the threats but challenging others to rethink the cruelty that’s become so normalized online.
