Apoorva Mukhija Reveals She Had To Vacate House After India's Got Latent Row
New Delhi: Apoorva Mukhija AKA Rebel Kid, who was on the panel with Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani in Samay Raina's India's Got Latent, came under the public ire after the controversial clip of using obscene language went viral. FIRs were filed soon after. Apoorva, who's currently a part of Amazon Prime's reality show The Traitors, revealed in a recent interview that she was forced to move out of the building after the Police came to summon her. What's Happening In an interview with Mashable India, Apoorva revealed that the building authority - where she stays in Mumbai - asked her to vacate the house after the Police came to summon her. "Because the cops came to my house to put up a notice and to summon me, the building management raised a complaint that 'cops are coming to this building, it's wrong, that's why we don't allow bachelors, that's why we don't rent out to single women'. "So somehow, I was single handedly responsible for evacuating feminism out of that building. So the owner told me to leave. I stayed in that house for one year only," said Apoorva. In a vlog shared after the controversy, in April, Apoorva shared that she couldn't go back to the house as she was scared of being attacked. "I started reading my DMs and they were all graphic of how people want to rape me, throw acid and stuff like that," she shared at the time. About India's Got Latent Row Ranveer Allahbadia found himself in troubles after he made a controversial remark about parents and sex. During his appearance on India's Got Latent show, Ranveer Allahbadia had asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever." The Internet heavily schooled him after the comments went viral and multiple police complaints were filed against him. Apporva, who was on the panel as well, also faced legal consequences. In A Nutshell Apoorva Mukhija AKA Rebel Kid revealed that she was forced to move out of the house after India's Got Latent row.

Samay Raina fans can't keep calm as India's Got Latent Clips returns to YouTube, ‘IGL will be back soon'
Samay Raina fans can't keep calm as India's Got Latent Clips channel has apparently returned to YouTube. Social media users claim that all the videos in the channel were made private after the Ranveer Allahbadia controversy. LiveMint could not independently verify the claim that the channel had 'returned' to YouTube since it could not be confirmed if it ever became private in the first place. It cannot be confirmed whether the channel is owned by Samay Raina or is a YouTube channel run by a fan. When we checked, the channel had 522 videos. It also includes clips of members-only episodes. Meanwhile, Samay Raina fans on Reddit have started celebrating the reported return. Many of them consider it a 'win' for the standup comedian. 'Sab Samay ka khel hai,' commented one user. 'Now that it has arrived, the Samay Raina channel will also return, right?' came from another. Another user observed, 'I watched a few clips, they have beeped out most of the abuses it seems before making them public.' However, not every fan thinks India's Got Latent will return. 'I don't think latent is gonna come back with all that has happened. No. Samay is very family-oriented and would not like his family to go through all that again. So, no,' wrote one user. 'He might start another show. Maybe, the podcast rumour is true and it was not just for ads but a way to show a glimpse,' the user added. However, another user contradicted, 'I have insider info, IGL will be back! Soon! But not in ways many people are expecting.' Samay Raina deleted all videos from his show India's Got Latent from YouTube after a major controversy involving guest Ranveer Allahbadia. Ranveer allegedly made 'inappropriate' comments on the show, which sparked backlash and led to multiple complaints across India. Shortly after the backlash, Samay shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had deleted all the videos. He clarified that his aim was to make people laugh, not offend anyone. He admitted the situation had become too stressful to handle. With the videos gone, people wondered what would happen to the money earned from those videos. YouTube's policy says that if a creator breaks the rules, the platform may take action and hold back payments. However, no such action is expected for users who delete their videos. By removing all the episodes (or making them private) from the playlist, Samay Raina might have avoided YouTube's action against the violation of policies. He retained his channel to ensure visibility on YouTube and earn revenue in future.

In episode 1 of Taakat, Ranveer Allahbadia's new video series, which dropped on May 24, former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan gave a tour of his beautiful home. Shikhar, known for his explosive batting, showcased a prized collection of cricket memorabilia in the hour tour video – a cricket wall with everything from calm and composed MS Dhoni's gloves and bats signed by intense and passionate Virat Kohli and others. Also read | Step inside Yuvraj Singh's Goa bungalow perched up on a picturesque hill with the most stunning view, serene vibe: Pics The cricket wall seems to be a dedicated space in his home to celebrate his career and connections with fellow cricketers. Shikhar's memorabilia wall reflects his own experiences and achievements in the sport – the display included several Man of the Match trophies, stumps and other memorabilia reflecting Shikhar's illustrious career, particularly his standout performances. There is also a huge candid photo of Shikhar from a cricket field. Interesting lighting highlights the memorabilia, as a wooden shelf holds some of the items together. Shikhar's living room feels open and inviting with white walls, white curtains, and glass windows creating a bright, expansive atmosphere. The wooden doors add warmth, while the interesting artwork serves as the heart of the design — from a bold red Bollywood-inspired painting injecting energy to a floral pink piece adding softness and the majestic horse painting celebrating Shikhar's favourite animal. The mix of modern and cultural elements creates a unique, personalised space that feels both luxurious and lived-in. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows dominate one wall, framing views of the cityscape. The rest of the home is a bright, airy, and spacious sanctuary. The glass and wooden furniture and doors create a seamless flow between rooms, balancing warmth and transparency. Comfortable furniture and furnishings in neutral tones like whites and beiges enhance the airy vibe, while potted plants add a touch of greenery.
