The Rebel Kid vacates Mumbai apartment; Is Apoorva Mukhija Stepping Away from the Influencer Life?

Influencer Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, ‘s departure from her Mumbai apartment has raised fresh speculation about her possible exit from the digital content space. The move comes at a time when her online presence had already been affected by the controversy surrounding the YouTube show India’s Got Latent.

A Silent Goodbye: Hints of Relocation and Reflection

A brief Instagram Story shared recently posted a dimly lit video of Mukhija switching off the lights in an empty flat. The caption, “End of an era,” led to widespread assumptions that a major life transition was underway. She was seen standing amid moving boxes and cleaning supplies, suggesting that the final steps of her relocation had been completed. No confirmation has been provided regarding her new residence, and it remains unclear whether she has shifted elsewhere in Mumbai or left the city altogether.

India’s Got Latent Fallout: Controversy, Complaints, and Consequences

The move closely follows the backlash faced after an episode of India’s Got Latent aired in January 2025. The episode, which featured fellow panellist Ranveer Allahbadia, triggered widespread outrage due to controversial remarks. Though creator Samay Raina later took down the entire series, the damage to the cast’s public image had already been done. Multiple FIRs had been filed, and the rebel kid’s name had reportedly been included in police complaints.

Since the controversy broke, her digital presence has noticeably declined. The Rebel Kid Instagram feed has been wiped clean, and a temporary absence from the platform has been observed. In one of her recent posts, it was mentioned that her manager had advised against returning to her apartment, as her address had been made public during the controversy. Safety concerns were believed to have influenced the decision to move out.

Trolls, Trauma, and the Toll on Family Life

Additionally, her family was said to have been targeted, with trolls allegedly posting disturbing messages on her mother’s social media accounts. Emotional strain and privacy breaches were reportedly faced during this period, though she had acknowledged being supported by her parents.

No formal announcement has been made about her future in the influencer industry. Still, her silence and recent move have led to speculation that she might be considering a break—or even a complete exit—from online content creation.

As of now, her social media platforms remain inactive, and no further updates have been shared.
