Social media star Apoorva Mukhija, known as The Rebel Kid, recently opened up about her journey on Prime Video’s ‘The Traitors’, sharing insights into her experience, her relationships with co-contestants, and her strong critique of Sudhanshu Pandey.
Life After ‘The Traitors’: A Candid Chat
Fans were quite upset when Apoorva Mukhija was evicted from ‘The Traitors’, especially since Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther eventually won. Despite the outcome, Apoorva expressed contentment with the opportunity, reflecting on her time on the Prime Video reality show in a recent interview.
She shared details about the show’s strict rules. When asked if contestants could quit midway, Apoorva revealed there was no such provision. She even humorously mentioned using ChatGPT to review her contract, primarily focusing on financial terms and NDAs.
Addressing Purav Jha Link-Up Rumors
Apoorva quickly shut down any speculation about a romance with co-contestant Purav Jha. She stated there’s “absolutely nothing” between them, admitting she was surprised to hear he spoke kindly of her in his videos.
She found it amusing that the internet started “shipping” them, despite her initial skepticism about his intentions. For Apoorva, their connection was purely platonic.
The Ongoing Feud with Uorfi Javed
The tension between Apoorva and Uorfi Javed was a prominent storyline on ‘The Traitors’, and it continued after the show. Apoorva explained that a “story time video” she made was taken personally by Uorfi, escalating their conflict.
Apoorva, who admitted to being a “petty person,” chose not to clear the air. She emphasized that her main goal was to be entertaining and catch a traitor, not to be universally understood. She embraced the drama, stating she doesn’t care if people misunderstand her.
Strong Words for Sudhanshu Pandey
Perhaps the most striking revelation was Apoorva’s reaction to comments made by Sudhanshu Pandey after the show. She labeled the ‘Anupamaa’ actor a “misogynist,” asserting that he spoke more outside the game than during it.
Apoorva mentioned texting him, questioning why he didn’t reach out privately, especially after calling her his “child.” She found his comments about differences between boys and girls, and girls wanting to “live like boys,” rooted in misogyny rather than just moral policing. She felt unfairly targeted, suggesting that if others’ reel-worthy moments were overlooked, so should hers.
