Apoorva Mukhija broke down into tears as she recalled how the controversy made her parents’ worst nightmares come true.

Apoorva Mukhija has opened up about the India’s Got Latent controversy in a new interview. The content creator, who faced backlash for her comments on Samay Raina’s show earlier this year, appeared on Yuvaa’s recent podcast when he admitted that she was never used to such an extent of hate. Apoorva shared that it was not just her who was brutally slammed and abused after the controversy, but her parents too.

The Rebel Kid revealed that since her mother’s Instagram account was public, she also received a lot of rape threats. It took a toll on her, and due to which her blood pressure increased drastically.

“It was a lot. People found out my parents’ account. My mom’s account was public. When all of this was happening, for the initial two days, I was thinking about myself. I did not think about my parents. I did not know what was happening at home. My mom got a lot of R words and rape threats, slut shaming. I did not know till three days later, I called my brother and asked, ‘Ghar pe sab theek hai?’ He told me, ‘Mummy ka BP 180 X 120 hai’. He told me everything about the comments,” Apoorva said.

The content creator broke down into tears as she recalled how the controversy made her parents’ worst nightmares come true. “My dad always said ‘Samaj mein izzat rehni chahiye’. I just felt like he lost all of that in a second and I put them through all of that.” She then added, “There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to fight for it,” she shared and then added, “Everything that he was scared of came true. I put them through all of that.”

However, Apoorva shared that despite everything, her parents never complained about anything. “She says she is fine. My parents have not complained even once. I went home for 15 days, I cried for 15 days. They always told me that it would pass. Nothing will happen,” she said.
