Apoorva Mukhija plans to move abroad, says Mumbai feels too accessible

Popular content creator Apoorva Mukhija has revealed her plans to leave Mumbai and eventually India to pursue higher studies and seek fresh challenges. Currently seen on the reality show 'The Traitors India', Apoorva shared that she's preparing to move abroad for a master's degree in fashion or management, having already taken competitive exams.In an interview with Mashable India, Apoorva, also known as The Rebel Kid, said, 'Main jana chahti hoon bahar. Mujhe aisa lagta hai Bombay me kitna accessible hai sab kuch. Agar mujhe kisi director se meeting karni hai, mujhe 15 phone call lagenge, lekin ho jayegi meeting. Ya kisi badi Diwali party me mil jayenge (I want to move outside Mumbai because everything is so easily accessible here. If I want to meet a director, it will take me 15 calls, but it will happen. Or if I go to a big Diwali party, I will meet people). It is so easy and there's no room for growth.'advertisementAccording to her, while Mumbai offers convenience and access, it lacks the challenges she's now looking for.
Apoorva also opened up about how fame often feels underwhelming. Despite being excited about seeing her billboard for 'The Traitors', the moment didn't bring the satisfaction she had anticipated. 'In my head, every achievement has felt really weird. Pehle mujhe lagta hai mujhe, ye cheez karni hai, then when I do it, and it happens, I feel very underwhelmed by it (First, I am determined that I have to do this thing, but when I do it and it happens, I feel very underwhelmed by it.) I am sure after 'The Traitors', I will feel the same,' she shared.The content creator is currently part of 'The Traitors', hosted by Karan Johar, which features a star-studded lineup including Jannat Zubair, Uorfi Javed, Raftaar, Maheep Kapoor, and more. A new episode is streamed every Thursday at 8 pm on Prime Video.Must Watch

Sudhanshu Pandey slams Apoorva Mukhija for 'highly inappropriate' tone towards Ashish Vidyarthi: ‘Jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na...'

Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey has called out influencer Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, for her dismissive comment about veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi on the reality show The Traitors. During a recent Instagram Live, Sudhanshu said he found her tone 'highly inappropriate' and far from respectful. Referring to Apoorva 's remark—'Mujhe lagta hai Ashish jaayega' (I feel Ashish will be eliminated)—Sudhanshu questioned the casual manner in which she spoke about a senior artist. 'Is he your childhood friend or what?' he asked bluntly. Sudhanshu takes on Apoorva's tone about senior actor Sudhanshu clarified that he wasn't trying to vilify Apoorva as a person. 'I'm not saying she's a bad person. She's a good kid. I'm sure she has a good heart too,' he said. 'But jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na, toh wo sab kuch kharaab kar deti hai.' (When your words turn foul, they ruin everything.) He explained that no matter how popular someone is, basic respect for senior professionals should not be compromised. 'Everything else goes for a toss if you do not have the know-how about what to say, and how to speak, about people who are senior to you,' he added. Calls out Gen Z behaviour, cites his own kids as contrast Sudhanshu also addressed the larger cultural issue of how Gen Z engages with elders, stating that such behaviour reflects poorly on the younger generation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

Sudhanshu emphasised that Ashish Vidyarthi, whom Apoorva casually referred to, is a veteran actor and highly respected in the industry. 'Ashish bhai is very senior to me as well. So, behind my back, she was talking about Ashish bhai, and saying, 'Mujhe lagta hai Ashish jayega,'' he reiterated.

The Traitors: Raftaar gets eliminated, reasons that he would rather be out with good character

Jun 20, 2025 09:11 PM IST Three new episodes of The Traitors dropped on Prime Video this week. It was Raftaar who got eliminated from the reality show in the sixth episode. He received the most number of votes in the circle of shaq, and was seen proudly proclaiming that he is an innocent. In the fifth episode, it was Ashish Vidyarthi who was eliminated. (Also read: The Traitors: Maheep Kapoor gets eliminated, Sufi Motiwala and Raftaar get into an ugly fight) Raftaar exited the show after receiving the most number of votes. Raftaar was always under the scanner in the last three episodes during the circle of shaq. He did manage to defend himself and share that he is not a traitor initially, but Sufi Motiwala brought out the plan that during the task there was a question which read, 'Who are the traitors most scared of?' The choice was between Sufi and Raftaar, and the correct answer was revealed to be him. Sufi reasoned that Raftaar being the traitor tried to name himself in the answer so that no one would doubt him. Raftaar said that he is not that foolish to do that deflection game even if he were a traitor. However, he shared that he would rather prove his point of having a 'good character' and show that he is a man of his words. Upon being voted out, Raftaar revealed that he is an innocent, which shocked everyone. In the fifth episode, Purav Jha pointed out that Ashish Vidyarthi is playing the game very well and could definitely be the traitor. Many others seemed to agree on that note and he was voted out. He also turned out to be an innocent, which came as a shock to many. As of now, Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, and Raftaar have been eliminated from the Karan Johar-hosted reality show. Unbeknownst to the rest of the gang, Elnaaz Norouzi and Purav Jha are the traitors. The new episodes will air on Prime Video every Thursday at 8 p.m.

Raj Kundra: Shilpa stood by me even when it would've been easier to walk away

Recently evicted from The Traitors, , at a press meet for the reality show, laughed about playing the 'nepo-husband' card. Married to actress , Raj appeared completely at ease with his wife's celeb status. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to Bombay Times about the male ego and power dynamics in celebrity relationships, Raj said, 'I say it with pride — Shilpa's success is our success. I've never been insecure about her spotlight. If anything, it inspires me. Real strength in a man comes from being secure enough to lift others — especially your partner — without feeling smaller in the process. That's not ego-less, that's evolved love.' 'There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection' Over the last few years, Raj has faced legal and public scrutiny. In July 2021, he was arrested by the Mumbai Police for allegedly producing and distributing adult content via an app. He spent 63 days in Arthur Road Jail before being granted bail in September 2021. Reflecting on that period, he shared, 'Those were some of the darkest times of my life. There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection. I could've let that chapter define me, but I chose instead to learn from it. The truth has its own timeline, and I've made peace with that. My focus now is to move forward with clarity, creativity and courage.' Raj Kundra 'My kids gave me reason to smile when I felt like disappearing' Raj's legal battle is far from over. While he remains out on bail, the case is still under trial. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also investigating him for alleged money laundering and has reportedly attached assets worth nearly Rs 98 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Such a phase, he says, tests every bond in his life. 'Some friendships vanished overnight, others got stronger than ever. But the real pain was watching my loved ones suffer because of my headlines. That guilt stays with you. And yet, the love they gave me during that storm is what saved me. You realise who your tribe is, and you never take them for granted again,' he said, adding, 'Shilpa stood by me with grace and resilience, even when it would've been easier to walk away. My kids gave me reason to smile when I felt like disappearing. That kind of unconditional support rewires your soul.' The businessman, who is also dabbling in acting, will be seen in the Punjabi film Mehar. Talking about wanting to be a part of compelling content, he said, 'I'm not chasing stardom — I'm chasing stories.'
