Who is Utsav Dahiya? Inside the life of Apoorva Mukhija's ex whose viral song has set the internet ablaze with cheating jibes
The Rebel Kid of the internet, Apoorva Mukhija, has once again found herself in the middle of controversy, this time because of Utsav Dahiya. On Sunday, August 17, Dahiya dropped his original track Cute Little Red Flag on Instagram, and it's spreading like wildfire. But who exactly is Utsav Dahiya, and what has he done to spark this storm? The allegations In his latest Instagram post, Dahiya shared his original track Cute Little Red Flag a title that itself seemed like a playful nod to a phrase Mukhija often uses in her popular storytime videos. Alongside the song, he posted a long note where he appeared to take indirect shots at the creator. Without naming her directly, Dahiya hinted at being misrepresented for content, writing, 'If you continue spreading nonsense, I'll release the receipts. Don't use fabricated stories to gain sympathy or push false narratives for content. Having a large following doesn't give you the right to bully others by rage-baiting your audience.' The lyrics of the track also seemed to echo this sentiment. In one line, he sings: 'Pucha maine ghatiya kyun bola mujhe duniya ke liye, kehti baby yeh toh sab dhandha hai mere liye.' The word suggested a video where, after their breakup, Mukhija's made a lighthearted video with Anupam Mittal and called her ex-partners 'ghatiya log,' which drew significant backlash toward him. Moreover, her videos often featured references to 'toxic boyfriends' which many online assumed were aimed at Dahiya , even though she never took his name. In the song, he also claimed that after being labeled a cheater and abuser in Mukhija's videos, he tried reaching out to her and her management but was brushed off. According to him, the response he got was, 'You're a nobody, be grateful you even dated her.' He countered this in his track, saying 'I was told, 'You're a nobody, you should be happy you got to date her.' Well, here's a message from that 'nobody': I'm still here, still standing. Your numbers might mean something on an app, but truth doesn't need followers.' Who is Utsav Dahiya? Apart from being a content creator with 74.6K followers on Instagram, where he regularly shares travel and music videos, Dahiya is also an investment banker. According to his LinkedIn, he has been working with Morgan Stanley since 2019, starting as an analyst before being promoted to associate in 2022. In February 2025, he took on his current role as associate at the firm in Sydney. Dahiya grew up in Mumbai, and he pursued Electronics and Communications Engineering at PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh (2014–2018).
