Apoorva Mukhija's controversy

Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid, who featured on the India's Got Latent episode along with Ranveer Allahbadia, has been embroiled in the controversy for making inappropriate comments on the show. She and Ranveer visited the NCW office on Thursday and submitted written apologies.

In a video shared by the official X account of news agency ANI last month, Apoorva Mukhija was spotted exiting the police station as she was surrounded by reporters who questioned her about the case. The comedian/influencer covered her face with a mask and went straight towards her car. She refrained from making any comment on the matter.
