Social media star Apoorva Mukhija, who goes by The Rebel Kid on Instagram, has been in the news these days for a not-so-nice confrontation with a group of students at Delhi Technological University (DTU). The incident occurred during the Under-25 Summit, where Apoorva was an invitee as a speaker. However, the interesting twist came when a section of the audience apparently mocked her, which led to a defiant exchange.

A lot of videos have since become viral, with Apoorva trying to show the heckler her strength. One of the clips showed her addressing the rowdy crowd after it continuously taunted her. Not backing off, she reacts boldly by saying:
“100 baar aur todungi aur tu idhar aaja, teri haddiyan bhi todungi. Tu idhar udhar bhaag raha tha na chup chupke. Aaja.”

Apoorva’s voice was only loud and clear; she was addressing those making fun of her. With that, she taunted before anyone would answer him when, she fired at another, “Batameezi kyun kar raha hai?” The culprits quickly left the place.
Apoorva’s Side of the Story

Apoorva Mukhija is the girl here who has had a scaling and bitter controversy. She created an entry in the book of 2.4 million followers on Instagram by narrating her side of the story. According to Apoorva’s perspective, though she was more than happy to meet and bond with students during the summit, one of the other experiences turned sour because a group of boys kept chanting her ex-boyfriend’s name when she went on the stage with her friend.
Initially, she ignored the taunts, but the harassments continued, prompting her to take the matter into her own hands. She addressed them boldly, firmly stating “Main bhi Delhi se hoon, tu bahar mil.”.
Briskly moving into the interaction part, she questioned the student with whom she happened to be conversing in full public glare about his behaviour, asking him why he thought it was okay to behave such as he did. His retort was to ask her why she was suscribing to every YouTuber who roasted her previously. The skirmish grew worse when he, along with some six or so other boys, tried to come on stage as security personnel hurried in just in time to stop them before reaching her and put her visibly in a really irked mood.
Hitting Back at Apoorva
Following the experience that Apoorva posted, the platform was filled with supporters cheering her for having the courage to speak up. Many fans praised the young girl for her guts and fearlessness in their words describing her as a true “Rebel Kid” for not keeping the bullying within herself.
This incident has sparked talks of respect and online harassment and how public figures face insults. The controversy has neither overshadowed nor faded her stance, proving once again why she is known as The Rebel Kid.
