It all started with creators such as Ashish Chanchlani, Sejal Kumar, Komal Pandey, Bhuvan Bam, and several others. Over the years, the content creators' fraternity has expanded, allowing micro and mini creators to thrive on social media. Besides carving a niche for themselves in India, many creators, including Nancy Tyagi, Ankush Bahuguna, and others, gained international prominence with their respective feats. As content creators continue to hog the limelight, Forbes released its Top 100 Digital Stars of India list in 2024. Apoorva Mukhija, colloquially known as 'The Rebel Kid', made the cut, leaving behind creators like Ranveer Allahbadia, Komal Pandey, Karishma Gangwal, Revant Himatsingka, Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, Ankush Bahuguna, and more. Popular for her engaging storytelling, Mukhija later participated in Prime Video's reality show The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar. The show drew backlash, with several social media users criticizing her for allegedly disrespecting veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi and locking horns with Uorfi Javed. However, she also won plaudits for her bond with co-contestants Sufi Motiwala and Purav Jha. Cut to August, Motiwala, a self-proclaimed fashion commentator, opened up about his fallout with Mukhija, bringing her back into the spotlight. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the influencer revealed that he and Mukhija are no longer on talking terms, stating that he felt ignored and disrespected. Meanwhile, Nancy Tyagi topped the Top 100 Digital Stars of India list. The fashion influencer, known for creating designer outfits from scratch, turned heads with her appearance at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
