Apoorva Mukhija talks about her worst dates

Apoorva, in an interview with Mashable India, rued having no romance in life and how Mumbai is not the city for dating. "Dating market kharab hai Mumbai mein. Yahan chalu hai asli recession. Jo log single hai aajkal, including myself, wo isliye single hai kyunki unhe koi nai chahta. (The dating scene is bad in Mumbai. There's an actual recession here. All the people who are single, including myself, are because nobody likes them)," Apoorva said.

Apoorva said that she was on all the dating apps but could not find a match because she would be judged based on her online personality.

 “People have such misconceived notions about me that I might make a video about them. And I think what is there in you that I would make a video about you. They think, ‘oh she drinks’, ‘she is a gold digger’, do they even know how much money content creators make? One time, I went on a date with this guy, who earned 25,000, and he told me I hate gold diggers. I was like, 'Bhai pital bhi to nahi hai tere paas, gold digger koi kese banega' (You don't even have money worth bronze, how can someone become a gold digger with you).”
