Story of Apoorva Mukhija (Rebel Kid): Famous Content Creator
Story of Apoorva Mukhija (Rebel Kid):
From Techie Roots to Digital Rebel
Apoorva Mukhija was born on January 28, 2001, in Mumbai, India. She first pursued a rather conventional route-schooling, followed by a B.Tech in Computer Science at Manipal University, Jaipur. During college years, she balanced her tech internships with experimenting in content creation, driven by a strong urge to express her raw observations of life.
Birth of "The Rebel Kid" Persona
In the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, Apoorva launched her virtual identity as The Rebel Kid. Relatable commentary laced with Gen Z humor, candid sketches, and "real life storytimes" struck a chord with the young audience in no time. She created space for the conversation on digital culture, relationships, and social norms from a fresh and refreshingly honest perspective.
Rise as a Brand Powerhouse
The more her presence grew, the larger her influence did. Apoorva began collaborating with major global and Indian brands-namely Nike, Meta, Amazon, Swiggy, and Netflix feature among her partnerships. Her signature style-bold, unfiltered, self-aware-made her a go-to voice for brands that wanted to connect with Gen Z authentically.
From Influencer to Actress
Apoorva commenced her acting career with the web series Who's Your Gynac? in 2023, where she was cast in a character called Akshata. This was followed by Netflix India's series Nadaaniyan and a web show Baat Pakki. In 2025, Apoorva continued her reach with her participation in the reality series The Traitors (India).

Controversies & the GOT Latent Storm
Early in 2025, Apoorva faced the full force of public scrutiny after remarks she made on the show India's Got Latent. The controversy escalated to the point where she was questioned by the Mumbai Police. Later, she was relieved of some brand ambassadorship roles and her online presence came into heated debate.
Fighting for Ethical Media & Boundaries
Apoorva used the backlash to bring attention to things she truly cares about: media ethics, personal space, and the representation of public figures via photography. She spoke candidly, scolding the paparazzi for intrusive close-up shots and calling for more respect and responsibility in media reports.
The Traitors Turn: Strategy & Spunk
Her stint on The Traitors was defining-with sharp instincts and playful strategy, she even identified Raj Kundra as a "traitor" on the show, a move that went viral. She described her goal not just to win, but to entertain and navigate the game with her signature "dramatic but real" self.
Taking a Step Back: The Retirement Question
In 2025, Apoorva publicly announced she wanted to "retire" from content creation. She said she's working on something new and prefers to share less of her private life, reflecting that she doesn't see social media as a diary but as a stage. Her fatigue with constant content demands and commercial pressures of creation have driven her to rethink her long-term path.
Money Moves & Misconceptions
There have been extensive reports that estimate her net worth at a staggering ₹41 crore. However, Apoorva publicly denied the figures, calling them exaggerated and clarifying that her mother even joked about “where all this money is.” Despite the rumors, her income sources remain multi-dimensional-brand deals, acting, and her digital platform.
Self-Care, Makeover & Reinvention
Beyond work, Apoorva is not afraid to invest in herself. In 2025, she spent around ₹3 lakh on a makeover — including veneers, dermatology treatments, and a hair transformation. She framed this not as a physical transformation so much as self-expression — keeping her rebellious energy alive even as she evolved into her glow-up phase. As she considers quitting the creator life now, she has been working her way through her fame with courage, imagination, and an unmistakable voice.
