What Rhea Chakraborty Told Apoorva Mukhija After India's Got Talent Row, Reveals Social Media Star

New Delhi: Social media star Apoorva Mukhija recently faced intense scrutiny and backlash following her comments on the show India's Got Talent. In a recent interview with Yuvaa, the influencer revealed that amidst the trolling and even death threats, she spoke with actor Rhea Chakraborty—someone who had undergone a similar experience after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
In her conversation with Yuvaa, Apoorva shared the constant security concerns she faced during the controversy. "Ganesh didn't let me step out without four bouncers and a driver. Even at the airport, I had a bouncer with me. I couldn't go back home for six to seven days because people knew my address. I was getting pictures of my building saying, 'We know where you live.' I cried every day. My mooh-boli sister Suman Didi was supposed to attend a wedding, but I had to cancel a fake award show appearance and rush back from Jaipur to Delhi. I was terrified."
She said she video-called Rhea Chakraborty, believing she would understand what she was going through. 'I spoke to her on a video call for an hour. She got it. She knew what I was going through.'
Apoorva also revealed that she wanted to publicly acknowledge the controversy but was advised to stay silent. 'I talk about everything, right? But people told me—if you speak now, they'll twist your words, and it'll start another media cycle. I had no choice but to stay silent.'
She went on to discuss how the situation affected her professional life: 'I didn't realize how much I loved working until I couldn't. I hadn't taken a day off in years—always vlogging, creating, thinking of brand posts. And suddenly, it was all gone. I lost so much business. Brands said it wasn't a good time to be associated. In one second, everything disappeared.'
Rhea Chakraborty also faced intense media scrutiny in 2020 when she was accused of abetment of suicide following the death of her then-boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Last Updated: Rhea Chakraborty showed the picturesque location and her stylish outfits, which she was completely mesmerised by. The curtains of MTV Roadies XX fell on June 1 after its dramatic finale. The season was packed with high-voltage drama, shocking twists, game-changing double-crosses, emotional exits and fiery arguments among the gang leaders that kept fans glued to their screens. Hosted by the iconic Rannvijay Singha, the 20th season featured gang leaders Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty and wildcard entrant Gautam Gulati. Weeks after the grand finale, gang leader Rhea Chakraborty took to Instagram to share nostalgic behind-the-scenes glimpses from the Roadies XX set. On June 9, the actress shared a bunch of videos and expressed that she is missing the roadies' journey. Strolling at a picturesque location of Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, Rhea gave a sneak peek of one of the sets of Roadies XX in the first slide. It was followed by another video of the actress, visibly tired, after a task. Other videos showcased the picturesque location and Rhea's stylish outfits, which she was completely mesmerised by. Sharing the videos, she expressed, 'Missing that crazy beautiful journey called @mtvroadies. Check out some of the BTS." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rhea Chakraborty (@rhea_chakraborty) After the post gained traction online, social media users quickly thronged the comments section of the post to praise her grace and vibe. 'You were awesome throughout the journey, the only girl who doesn't shout or bring down or make it all about herself. Such a vibe," a fan wrote. Another said, 'Missing you and your outfits." 'So gorgeous and beautiful. Miss watching you every weekend so much," said a user. Someone remarked, 'Watching you and these beautiful BTS clips is pure sunshine, happiness and magic.

Coming to Roadies XX, the reality show saw Elvish Yadav's gang member Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, take home the trophy of the season. He defeated Hartaaj Gill from Prince Narula's gang by a narrow margin of just 32 seconds. Kushal's journey was nothing short of dramatic. Eliminated mid-season, he made a stunning comeback as a wildcard in Gautam Gulati's gang, only to double-cross Gautam and re-join Elvish for the finale. While fans celebrated Kushal's victory, Hartaaj stirred controversy after he expressed his frustration and called the finale task 'unfair' and 'biased.' In a candid interview with The Times of India, he said, 'Everyone on social media is saying what happened to me was unfair. Why did Gullu get a chance to see my performance while I didn't get to see anything? The show wanted Gullu to win, and that's why they planned it all. I'm very disappointed. I feel extremely bad because it's just so unfair. This shouldn't have happened." Along with the coveted Roadies trophy, Gullu also won a Karizma XMR bike and a prize money of Rs 10 lakh.
