Summary: After facing intense online harassment over the 'India's Got Latent' controversy, YouTuber Apoorva Mukhija leaves her Mumbai residence.

YouTuber Apoorva Mukhija, known as The Rebel Kid, has vacated her Mumbai apartment following the backlash from her appearance on Samay Raina's show 'India's Got Latent'. The controversy came from a segment where another guest, Ranveer Allahbadia, asked an inappropriate question, leading to massive criticism.

The Rebel Kid faced the criticism too for her comments, for which she issued a public apology and also deleted her social media content. She shared a photo hinting at her move, with the caption "End Of An Era".

Following the incident, Mukhija said she received gruesome threats, including ones of rape and acid attack, which she characterized as extremely upsetting. In a police statement, she described a traumatic encounter with the paparazzi as 'dehumanising'. She said, "I've hurt a lot of people," expressing regret. I sincerely apologize if I offended you.

The incident has sparked discussions on the responsibilities of digital content creators and the impact of online harassment. Mukhija's departure from her home underscores the profound personal toll such controversies can exact.
