Apoorva Mukhija Calls The Traitors Journey A ‘Roller Coaster'
Content creator Apoorva Mukhija, also known as The Rebel Kid, is one of the contestants on Karan Johar's reality show, The Traitors. With her clever gameplay, she has become one of the show's favourites among viewers, available on Prime Video. Following the premiere of episodes 7, 8 and 9, Apoorva penned a note reflecting on her journey.
The 23-year-old influencer shared the note on her Instagram Story on Friday, June 27. She wrote, 'These past few weeks have been a roller coaster. To say I am grateful would be an understatement." Revealing that the shoot for The Traitors was 'traumatic," Apoorva added, 'I will always cherish the moments I had with Sufi Motiwala and Jannat Zubair and Purav Jha." She concluded her note, by saying, 'Thank you for all the love, the hate, the feedback, and the edits. Can't wait for the finale."
In the latest episodes of the show, released on June 26, five contestants out of the remaining 20 got eliminated. They were Janvee Gaur, Elnaaz Norouzi, Sufi Motiwala, Jannat Zubair and Anshula Kapoor. The contestants who made it to the final episode of The Traitors Season 1 are Harsh Gujral, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasmin Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Uorfi Javed, and Sudhanshu Pandey. Shot at the sumptuous and majestic Hotel Suryagarh in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, The Traitors' grand finale episode will air on July 3 at 8 PM.
The debut season of The Traitors, hosted by KJo, generated so much buzz that it was renewed for another gripping season. On Wednesday, June 25, Amazon Prime Video took to its social media accounts to announce that The Traitors was officially greenlit for a second season. It is an adaptation of the British show of the same name.
Speaking of Apoorva, she participated in the reality show just months after she got embroiled in a controversy due to Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent. She, along with Samay and Ranveer Allahbadia, faced massive backlash earlier this year after an episode of the show grabbed everyone's attention in which Ranveer posed an offensive question to a contestant. Following the backlash, she went missing in action from social media. However, she returned to the platform by sharing with people all the troubles and challenges she had faced due to the controversy.

1 2 Pune: A five-part documentary series explaining the significance of five Ganapati temples — Trishund Ganapati, Khinditla Ganapati, Gupchup Ganapati, Maticha Ganapati and Modi Ganapati — was released on Wednesday ahead of Ganeshotsav. Historian and president of Itihas Premi Mandal, Mohan Shete, has given a snapshot of history and the significance of these locally revered temples in the series. The videos are made with the help of AI, accompanied by Shete's commentary on the historical facts associated with the temples.

For example, if I need to explain something from an inscription that is not easily visible, it becomes easier to do so if it is captured on camera. Then, people can read the inscription in a better way," Shete said while unveiling two episodes of the documentary series. The remaining three episodes are slated to be released shortly. "It is a matter of concern that there are several videos on social media that disseminate wrong information about the historical relics in Pune. It is my responsibility to describe historically accurate facts," Shete said. During the filming, many locals approached the team and provided their interpretations or accounts of the history behind the temples, Shete said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo "We have attributed the source of information in places where there is no definite proof," he said. Shete also said these temples have very old traditions and interesting facts associated with them. "Maticha Ganapati has a tradition of hosting a socio-religious singing form of 'kirtan' going back 100 years. A very old person told me that he listened to a kirtan performance by prominent kirtankar, Govindswami Aphale, in his childhood," Shete said. In the case of Trishund Ganapati, a sculpture of a rhinoceros in chains on the walls indicates the British victory in the Battle of Plassey. "The current affairs of those times were captured in such scriptures," he said. The Modi Ganapati temple got its name from the Modi family, hailing from Gujarat, who lived in the area. Members of the family acted as mediators between the Peshwa and the British. "The construction of the Maticha Ganapati temple is said to date back to Moraya Gosavi, a contemporary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. There is a mention of this fable; however, there is no concrete evidence of this narrative; we have mentioned it accordingly in the video," he added. Shailesh Badve, who conceptualised the documentary, said the team hasmade use of AI to make these videos, but has ensured the images are accurate and do not hurt people's sentiments. "We have also used AI to create songs and music. After completing the Ganesh temple series, similar episodes on Maruti temples in Pune and historical temples in Pandharpur have been planned," Badve said.
