Who Is Amin Jaz? The DJ and Podcaster at the Centre of Apoorva Mukhija Dating Buzz

Amin Jaz has suddenly found himself at the centre of social media attention after a video appearing to show him kissing content creator Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, went viral. The clip, reportedly filmed at a party in Turkey, shows Amin DJing while Apoorva stands beside him. The two appear to kiss before the moment is interrupted, after which Apoorva appears to lean in and kiss him again. The footage has prompted some users to call it a possible relationship “hard launch”. However, neither Amin nor Apoorva has publicly confirmed that they are dating. So, while the video has become the latest talking point, Amin Jaz is not a new name within India’s digital entertainment ecosystem.

Who Is Amin Jaz?

Amin Jaz, whose full name is reported as Amin Jazayeri, has built a career across DJing, podcasting and digital content.

According to profiles about his background, Amin moved from Iran to Pune during his teenage years. He began DJing at 16, initially as a hobby, before turning it into a professional career.

His music career has covered electronic genres including trap, bass house, dubstep and drum and bass. He has also performed commercial and Bollywood music, giving him a presence across both club and mainstream entertainment spaces.

That musical background eventually became one part of a broader digital career.

From DJing to Podcasting

Amin studied at the Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research in Pune, with his LinkedIn profile listing his education between 2016 and 2019.

In 2020, he launched Untriggered with AminJaz, a podcast built around informal and unfiltered conversations.

The podcast has featured creators, comedians, entertainers and other internet personalities. Its discussions have covered relationships, dating, pop culture, comedy, internet culture and personal experiences.

By September 2026, the podcast had crossed 240 episodes, establishing Amin as more than a DJ within India’s creator and entertainment space.

That positioning is particularly relevant to the current buzz around him. His podcast has already placed him in conversations with creators and personalities who operate at the intersection of entertainment and social media.

His Connection With Apoorva Mukhija

Amin and Apoorva’s association also predates the latest viral video.

Apoorva first appeared on Untriggered with AminJaz in Episode 142, released on July 2, 2024. Their conversation covered her childhood, relationships, breakup, dating apps, travel and her journey as a content creator.

The two appeared together on the podcast again in 2026.

In Episode 240, titled The Unseen Side Of The Rebel Kid, released on August 18, Apoorva discussed moving to New York, her experiences after The Traitors and the India’s Got Latent controversy, her content career, friendships and long-distance relationships.

Their repeated interactions and public appearances, including at events such as Lollapalooza India, had already led to speculation about their equation.

Neither had publicly confirmed a relationship.

Why Is Amin Jaz Trending Now?

The latest speculation intensified after Apoorva recently revealed that she had travelled from New York to Turkey during a university break to meet her boyfriend.

She did not publicly identify the person.

That led some social media users to connect the information with Amin, particularly given their existing association. The Turkey video has now added another layer to those assumptions.

The footage itself has generated different reactions.

Some viewers have interpreted it as an indication that the two are together. Others have questioned why what appeared to be a private moment was recorded and circulated online.

That distinction is important because a viral clip can fuel speculation without independently confirming the nature of a relationship.

A Creator-Economy Connection

Amin’s career also reflects how India’s digital entertainment ecosystem has expanded beyond conventional creator categories.

He began with music, moved into podcasting and has developed an audience through conversations with internet personalities. Apoorva, meanwhile, has built her own identity as a social media creator and public personality.

Their professional worlds overlap naturally.

Podcasts increasingly function as networking spaces within the creator ecosystem, bringing together people who may later appear at events, collaborate or simply become part of the same online social circles.

That does not necessarily indicate a personal relationship. But it does explain why familiar faces from the creator ecosystem can repeatedly cross paths in public.

Are Amin Jaz and Apoorva Mukhija Dating?

As of the information available, there is no public confirmation from either Amin Jaz or Apoorva Mukhija that they are in a relationship.

Their podcast appearances, public interactions and the latest viral video have fuelled speculation. But the footage alone does not establish the status of their relationship.

For now, the internet has interpreted the moment one way. The two creators have not publicly labelled it themselves.

And that leaves the biggest question surrounding the viral video unanswered: is it a relationship reveal, or simply a private moment that the internet has turned into one?
