Apoorva Makheja aka Rebel Kid's ex hints she cheated on him amid fallout with Rida Tharana and Sufi Motiwala – all we know!
Social media creator Rebel Kid, also known as Apoorva Mukhija, is once again making buzz. Known for her quirky content, appearances on Karan Johar's reality show The Traitors, and the movie Nadaaniyan, she recently became the center of online discussions following a friendship fallout with fellow creator Sufi Motiwala, this following her popular fallout with Rida Tharana. Friendship fallout with Sufi Motiwala Apoorva and Sufi, who became friends during The Traitors, which was released in June 2025. They featured in each other's Instagram stories, collaborated on Rebel Kid's YouTube videos, and shared fan-made reels celebrating their friendship. However, the duo recently seemed to drift apart. When invited by Netflix for Wednesday 2 in Sydney, both creators avoided tagging each other in posts, sparking online chatter that even reached Reddit. Sufi addressed the situation on his Instagram stories on August 17, writing: What he said 'NO MORE LIES. I wanted to be friends with Apoorva Mukhija, not the Rebel Kid. When there was no accountability for how I was being treated, I distanced myself. I even requested her to ask her audience to calm down because they were abusing me for no reason. Sadly, this person who called me her best friend has no concern for that or for the fact that I might be hurt. THAT is why I'm not friends with her anymore. Keep it cute, keep it moving.' At the time of writing, Motiwala and Tharana, both have unfollowed Rebel Kid on Instagram. Ex claims she cheated Amid the friendship drama, Rebel Kid's ex, Utsav Dahiya, also made buzz. The two had dated in early 2023 before announcing their breakup on January 31, when Rebel wrote: 'Most of you all guessed it already, but Utsav and I are not together anymore. I can't wait for the slut-shaming, gold-digging gossip threads on me now. But lesson learned, agla jiju reveal shaadi pe karungi ab.' Following their split, Mukhija continued sharing content that allegedly appeared to hint at Dahiya being in the wrong, ranging from lighthearted videos with Anupam Mittal to calling her ex-partners 'ghatiya log,' which drew significant backlash toward him. However, as the India's Got Latent controversy surrounding Mukhija cooled down, Dahiya posted a video on August 17 hinting that Apoorva cheated on him. His song, titled 'Cute Little Red Flags,' also references a phrase Mukhija frequently uses in her videos. The caption of the post read, 'Ab agar koi aur bakwaas karega toh main seedha receipts nikalunga. Never try to gain sympathy by fabricating lies or pushing false narratives just to make content and assassinate someone's character online. Having a big following doesn't give you the right to bully your way by rage-baiting your audience and unleashing them on others. Truth doesn't need 'followers'; it stands on its own. Toh tum chalao apna ghar kalesh se, but kisi ke baare mein jhoot bolna band karo. Baki logo ko life mein dhanke kaam karne do. Grow up, kid.'
