Apoorva Mukhija says Mumbai has no scope for growth: '15 call lagenge lekin director se meeting ho jaegi'
Mumbai might be one of the most difficult cities for artists to get a break, but not for content creator Apoorva Mukhija. In fact, she opened up in a new interview and said that she plans to leave the city soon because it is too 'accessible' and there is no room for growth for her.

In an interview with Mashable India, Apoorva revealed her plans to move out of the country to do a master's in fashion and/or management and has already taken competitive exams.
"Main jana chahti hu bahar. Mujhe esa lagta hai Bombay me kitna accessible hai sab kuch. Agar mujhe kisi director se meeting karni hai, mujhe 15 phone call lagenge, lekin ho jaegi meeting. Ya kisi badi Diwali party me mil jaenge (I want to move outside Mumbai because everything is so easily accessible here. If I want to meet a director, it will take me 15 calls, but it will happen. Or if I go to a big Diwali party, I will meet people). It is so easy and there's no room for growth," Apoorva said.
In the same interview, Apoorva also confessed that she finds fame underwhelming. She explained how she felt excited about getting her own billboard, particularly for her latest show, The Traitors, but when it came up, she didn't feel much.
"In my head, every achievement has felt really weird. Pehle mujhe lagta hai mujhe, ye cheez karni hai, then when I do it, and it happens, I feel very underwhelmed by it (First, I am determined that I have to do this thing, but when I do it and it happens, I feel very underwhelmed by it.) I am sure after The Traitors, I will feel the same," Apoorva said.
Apoorva is currently being seen as a participant in the Indian adaptation of the reality television series The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar. Until now, she has gained attention for her strategic gameplay, notably identifying fellow contestant Raj Kundra as a traitor, a claim he later confirmed.
The show features celebrities like Jannat Zubair, Uorfi Javed, Maheep and Anshula Kapoor, Raftaar, Apoorva Mukhija, Sufi Motiwala, Elnaaz, Purav Jha, Ashish Vidyarthi, Jasmine Bhasin and others. Sahil Salathia, Karan Kundrra, Raj Kundra, and Lakshmi Manchu have already been eliminated. A new episode drops every Thursday at 8pm on Amazon Prime.

Apoorva Mukhija says police visit got her evicted from her house after India's Got Latent row: 'Building raised complaint... we don't rent out to single women'
Apoorva Mukhija, also known as Rebel Kid, has faced many problems after appearing on a reality show. She was evicted from her home and received threats. Mukhija also had a fight with Uorfi Javed on 'The Traitors'. Javed claims their fight was scripted. Mukhija says the clash began when she was crying. The feud is ongoing. Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as Rebel Kid, has found herself at the center of multiple controversies ever since her appearance on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent. From being evicted from her home after police visits to receiving disturbing threats and facing off with co-contestant Uorfi Javed on The Traitors, the influencer's reality TV stint has spiraled into a series of real-life challenges. In a new interview with Mashable India, Apoorva revealed that she was asked to vacate her home after cops arrived to serve a notice related to an FIR. The building management used it as justification for not renting to single women, making her feel she was blamed for 'evacuating feminism' from the building. In a vlog shared in April following the controversy, Apoorva revealed she couldn't return home due to safety concerns, as her address had become public. She received disturbing threats, including graphic messages of sexual violence and acid attacks, leaving her fearful for her life. Apoorva Mukhija, currently seen on The Traitors, played a key role in eliminating the show's first traitor, Raj Kundra . However, drama soon followed as she had an off-camera showdown with co-contestant Uorfi Javed. In a vlog, Apoorva said the clash began while she was quietly crying alone, sparking an ongoing feud. Uorfi Javed has now hit back at Apoorva Mukhija, claiming their fight on The Traitors was scripted. In a social media post, Uorfi alleged the entire incident was 'planned' and said she felt misrepresented by Apoorva's exaggerated version. She also accused Apoorva of making hurtful remarks off-camera, which led to her angry reaction.
