Apoorva Mukhija, widely recognised as 'The Rebel Kid', seems to be controversy’s constant companion. Just when her name was settling down after the 'India’s Got Latent' fiasco, a new storm has taken over the internet, this time involving her ex-boyfriend Utsav Dahiya and her once 'best friend' Sufi Motiwala.
What started as whispers of a breakup has now snowballed into a full-fledged digital drama, with Instagram reels, cryptic notes, and unfollowing sprees adding fuel to the fire.
Utsav Dahiya’s Reel That Shook Instagram
Amid ongoing rumours that Apoorva had cheated on him, Utsav Dahiya decided to break his silence with an Instagram Reel that instantly went viral.
The reel wasn’t just a casual vent; it came loaded with an explosive caption and a sharp parody of Apoorva’s trademark phrase, 'cute little red flag.' Social media users were quick to decode the song as a direct dig at Apoorva.
In the parody, Utsav revealed their relationship lasted just twenty weeks, before singing:
'I asked why you called me disgusting in front of the world, you said, This is all business for me.'
The caption hit even harder:
'Never try to gain sympathy by fabricating lies or pushing false narratives to make content. Having a big following doesn’t give you the right to bully your way by rage-baiting your audience and unleashing them on others.'
While Utsav never mentioned Apoorva’s name, fans were quick to connect the dots. The breakup, which reportedly occurred in January last year, now appears to have left deeper scars than either had initially admitted.
Sufi Motiwala Bids Goodbye to ‘Best Friend’ Status
If Utsav’s reel wasn’t enough, another twist came from Apoorva’s former bestie, Sufi Motiwala. The duo first bonded on Karan Johar’s reality show The Traitors and even shared fun storytime videos on Apoorva’s YouTube channel.
However, Sufi shocked fans by confessing on his Instagram Stories that the friendship had ended. In his statement, he wrote:
'I wanted to be friends with Apoorva, not the image she was building. When there was no accountability for the way I was treated, I distanced myself.'
He further claimed that despite receiving hate from Apoorva’s fanbase, she never stepped in to defend him. 'Sadly, this person who once called me her best friend didn’t care that I was hurt. That’s why I’m not friends with her anymore,' Sufi shared.
For fans who have followed Apoorva’s friendship arcs closely, this breakup echoed her past fallout with Ridha Tharana. Interestingly, Ridha and Apoorva unfollowed each other on Instagram right after attending a Netflix event together, hinting that all is not well in The Rebel Kid’s inner circle.
Bigg Boss Connection Rumors
With drama escalating around her personal life, speculation is already swirling about whether this controversy is a strategic move linked to her rumoured entry into Bigg Boss 19.
It wouldn’t be the first time a content creator leveraged social media chaos to build momentum before stepping into the reality TV spotlight. Given Bigg Boss’s history of welcoming polarising personalities, Apoorva’s stormy narrative might just be the kind of pre-entry buzz the show thrives on.
From Utsav Dahiya’s parody to Sufi Motiwala’s unfriending scenes, Apoorva Mukhija once again finds herself in the eye of a social media storm. While she has yet to comment on either controversy, the timing of these back-to-back fallouts has left fans questioning
Is this just another messy chapter in her life, or the perfect launchpad into reality TV fame?
One thing’s clear: in the universe of The Rebel Kid, the drama never really ends.
