Content creator Apoorva Mukhija recently opened up about the gender bias she witnessed growing up. She reflected on how her mother's tireless efforts in raising her and her brother often went unacknowledged, while her father received praise for minimal involvement, like simply attending parent-teacher meetings.
In an interview with The Quint, Apoorva shared that her mother faced constant underappreciation and struggled with low self-worth, despite doing everything for the family. She recalled how even small gestures from her father—like attending parent-teacher meetings—were met with praise, while her mother's everyday sacrifices went largely unnoticed.
She further highlighted how it was her mother who managed everything behind the scenes—feeding the kids, helping with studies, handling school runs, and attending every PTM without fail.
Yet, she noted the irony of her mother praising her father for doing the bare minimum, saying, 'Oh my god, he has done so much.'
Apoorva also pointed out that while her mother never truly acknowledged her own hard work, she consistently encouraged her daughter to know her worth and never settle for less—breaking the cycle of self-neglect she had silently endured.
On the work front, Apoorva was last seen in the reality show The Traitors, hosted by
Karan Johar
. The series features 20 popular personalities from various fields competing in a gripping game of strategy, trust, and betrayal, all for a grand cash prize and the coveted title.

Sudhanshu Pandey opens up on being fit at the age of 50, says his colleagues from modelling days, Dino Morea, John Abraham are still looking like rockstars
Sudhanshu Pandey who is currently seen in 'The Traitors' is also known for 'Band Of Boys' and the kids of the 90s remember him from those times. However, in more recent times, Pandey attained much popularity as Vanraj from ' Anupama '. He's 50 now but is fitness and looks completely belie that. During a chat with ETimes, when asked about how he maintains his looks, Sudhanshu said, "I started my career when I was 19. When I started as a model, you know, I started also very early in life. And now people tell me I don't look 50 at all. I always look back at my batchmates like Dino Moria, Arjun Rampal when people tell me that. Although Arjun is 52, John Abraham is 52, but they are still looking like rockstars." He added, "All the boys from my batch are doing so well as far as fitness is concerned. We have probably come from a time where we feel that, you know, we value this whole, thing of looking good and fit, because that is our job. It is our job to be fit, look good, and be an inspiration to other people." Pandey further revealed he takes Anil Kapoor as an inspiration. He added, " If you look at people like Anil Kapoor, it's so inspiring. It's a challenge for us when you see him roaming around like a young lad. He's running around working hard and doing the best projects. So we still have a long way to go. That makes us want to be like him 20 years later also."
