Content creator and The Traitors contestant Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, has finally responded to viral online reports claiming her net worth is a staggering Rs 41 crore. The reports also alleged that she charges Rs 6 lakh per reel and earns Rs 2.5 lakh per day figures she has now hilariously debunked.
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Apoorva laughed off the claims, saying, “I am everywhere but my net worth is not even close to 41 crore. I’m not even making one-tenth of that.” She added that even her mother was confused by the reports. “My mom sent me a screenshot and asked, ‘Kaha hai ye saare paise? Kyu nahi hum ghar khareed paa rahe hai?’ (Where is all this money? Why aren’t we able to buy a house then?) I asked her if she’s okay. Nahi hai humare pass itne saare paise (We don’t have so much money)” she recalled.
Dressed in a rented outfit for the interview, Apoorva pointed to her clothes and cracked, “These clothes are rented, I have to return them right after this. Look at my heels, they’re so dirty, I haven’t cleaned them in days. My nails are fake, the watch is worth Rs 20,000, and that’s the most expensive thing I’m wearing. But Rs 41 crore is insane. The moment I earn Rs 10 crore, I’ll retire. Someone take me there. Give me money.”
She also added that no brand is paying her the rates she actually quotes. “How do I care if a random publication has written 41 crore as my net worth out of nowhere. What do people think?” she joked.
Reacting to the buzz on Instagram yesterday, Apoorva posted a screenshot of the report and wrote, “Galat hai bhai????”
Apoorva was recently seen on Karan Johar hosted reality show ‘The Traitors’. While she didn’t win, her wit and screen presence made her one of the standout contestants on the show.
