It was a few months ago in 2025 when Ranveer Allahabadia, on Samay Raina’s India Got Latent show passed crude comments, which received mass outrage. Multiple FIRs were filed against him, a content creator, Apoorva Mukhija, who was accused of making inappropriate comments on the show. Apart from legal action being taken against, Apoorva, ‘The Rebel Kid’, she recently shared how her media experience was that of what Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty.
Apoorva Mukhija compares her media trial to that of Rhea Chakraborty
For the unversed, after Sushant died by suicide, Rhea was mobbed outside the court, and Apoorva highlighted the role of the public in such media trial coverages. She revealed that the audience continued this kind of behaviour as people were watching and also sharing this kind of content. Apoorva sat down for an interview with Bollywood Bubble and shared:
“Look at the amount of views those videos have. People like us give them the right to do this. That sort of gives them the right to do this. It’s the audience that views this content, shares it, and mocks it. That content is what allows them to keep doing it over and over again.”
Apoorva Mukhija shares how she is a brave person
Apoorva revealed that it was the audience who consumed this kind of content and also shared sensational news. She shared that the constant attention from the people encourages and gives rise to such behaviour. Her statement gave rise to questions that have arisen related to the behaviour of the public related to supporting or rejecting this kind of content. Apoorva also spoke on how she has been a brave person, to which the content creator expressed:
“I mean, it’s a combination of everything, honestly. I’ve just had a lot of experiences, but experiences are just stories; they make for great story times. So it’s okay.”
When Apoorva Mukhija gave a shoutout to Rhea Chakraborty
Apoorva had shared that she had received death threats for her crass comments on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Talent show. She shared of getting death threats for passing weird comments on the Samay Raina show. She did address the controversy earlier too on the Samay Raina show and did share that such a mega-scale media trial she has not seen in the industry. Apoorva, earlier in an interview with News 18, had given a shoutout to Rhea and shared that she had spoken to her for an hour about the controversy. For the unversed, Rhea also faced a media trial after Sushant Singh Rajput died in 2020. During an interview with Yuvaa, Apoorva shared:
“We have not seen a media trial at this scale. Creator industry mein. We have seen Bollywood industry mein. Shoutout Rhea Chakraborty. I spoke to her also for an hour. My initial response was ‘I want to talk about it’, because Apoorva talks about everything. But everyone around me said, ‘You cannot open your mouth, it’ll start another media cycle for five more days. They’ll take just one line from what you said, run it on the news, and use it against you. You can’t do it.’ The only option I had was to stay silent.”
