Apoorva Mukhija Opens Up About Cannes 2025 Debut After Controversy – Here’s Why She’s Nervous
Entertainment Desk, New Delhi:
Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, known online as Rebel Kid and followed by over 3.7 million fans, made headlines a few months ago after getting involved in a major controversy on the show India’s Got Latent alongside Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. Her double-meaning reply to a contestant sparked backlash and led to both legal action and widespread trolling on social media.
Following the controversy, Apoorva stayed away from the limelight for several months. She only recently made her Instagram comeback, opening up about the toll the India’s Got Latent incident had taken on her mentally and emotionally.
Why Apoorva Mukhija Is Nervous About Debuting at Cannes 2025
Now slowly re-engaging with her followers, Apoorva is once again active on Instagram. On Monday, an entertainment agency asked a question on social media:
“Which influencer would you like to see walking the red carpet at Cannes 2025?”
Among the replies, one fan specifically mentioned Apoorva Mukhija.
The influencer responded honestly, revealing that while she is flattered by the suggestion, the thought of debuting at Cannes 2025 makes her anxious. She clarified that her fear doesn’t come from hate or trolling but possibly from the pressure and scrutiny that comes with such a high-profile global event—especially in the wake of past controversies.
A Cautious Return to Spotlight
Apoorva’s response shows that she’s still navigating her path back into the public eye carefully. While she’s grateful for her supporters and the chance to rebuild, the scars of past trolling and legal troubles have made her more cautious about public appearances.
As Cannes 2025 approaches, fans are curious to see whether the “Rebel Kid” will take the international stage or choose to step back once again. Either way, her honesty and vulnerability have resonated with many online.
