About the controversy

Ever since the India's Got Latent controversy blew up, Apoorva had stopped posting on her social media accounts. She even deleted all her previous posts and unfollowed everyone on Instagram. Her post on Tuesday came with a trigger warning, where she posted a bunch of screenshots of abusive comments and threats. She captioned the post, “And that’s not even 1%.” In another post, she wrote, “Don't take away the story from the storyteller.”

Amid the controversy, Apoorva took her time off from social media and didn't even promote Nadaaniyan, where she had a supporting role. A few days after the film's release, Sufi had praised the personal style of Apoorva in another reel, to which she had reacted, “Got hated so hard that now even Sufi Motiwala doesn’t say hateful things about me.”
