Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, recently expressed shock over an incident at an airport where she was denied an emergency exit row seat. According to reports, airline staff assumed she looked “sick” or “disabled,” with one staff member allegedly saying, “We can’t give it to disabled bodies,” despite Apoorva being fully able-bodied. She shared her frustration on Instagram Stories, calling out the airline for judging her based on her appearance, with a staff member reportedly saying, “Aapki shakal dekh ke lag raha hai” (It seems so by looking at your face). The incident, reported on June 23, 2025, sparked outrage online, with fans and followers slamming the airline for its discriminatory behavior.
This isn’t the first time Apoorva has faced public scrutiny. She previously made headlines due to her involvement in the controversial YouTube show India’s Got Latent, where she faced backlash for allegedly abusive behavior toward a contestant, leading to severe consequences like rape and death threats and being forced to vacate her Mumbai flat after police visits. She’s also currently a contestant on The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar, where her actions, including a planned feud with Uorfi Javed and a disrespectful comment about veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi, have stirred further controversy.
