Apoorva Mukhija stated that she may not have won The Traitors but she is very happy with her journey in the show.
Apoorva Mukhija and Urfi Javed were always at loggerheads in The Traitors. And while the latter has won Karan Johar's show now, The Rebel Kid also feels that Urfi played a 'fair game". In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Apoorva opened up about Urfi's victory and shared that the latter played the game with a 'great strategy".
'Honestly, Urfi played a fair game. She did play a very number game where she had a lot of people in her corner, which honestly is a great strategy to play the game with. The only thing that I'm underwhelmed with is that she heard him (Puraj Jha), she heard them talking and that's all. But I think anybody who is the winner deserves to be the winner because they have done something right. They definitely don't deserve the hate that they are getting," she told us.
However, Apoorva also bashed those abusing or threatening Urfi after her victory and stated, ' Virat Kohli had said this, that people in this country love to blame women, either they even or they lose, people just love to blame women in this country. I think it's unreal that us, who played the game, have not taken it that seriously. We don't hold anything against Urfi or Nikita because they won. We all share our respectful opinions. I think since so much of the audience in India is Bigg Boss audience, they're so used to abusing others, this is not that game."
The content creator further made a strong statement, saying, 'Nikita must have done something right, Urfi must have done something right, which is why they have won. Nobody has the right to go and abuse them."
Apoorva questioned the 'people in power" to take action against hatemongers on social media. 'I just hate to know that things like this continuously keep happening in this country and there is nothing that anybody does about it. The platforms don't do anything about it. People in power don't care about women getting abused every single day on social media. And that is the entire truth. That is the only truth that matters. We live in a country where kisi ko bhi kuch bhi kehna has no consequences," she added.
While Apoorva took a stand for Urfi, we asked her about the latter's comment regarding her in another of our interviews – that she would never answer Apoorva's calls. Reacting to the same, The Rebel Kid explained, 'I think we shouldn't answer each other's calls. We are just not two people who can seem to get along. I am sure you also have people in your life with whom you cannot get along. The only problem is that ours has been broadcasted to millions of people. I appreciate people who hold a grudge because they at least have some ground that they stand on. Let's not solve it otherwise. One must have a few enemies, too, in life."
Apoorva concluded by saying that she may not have won The Traitors, but she is very happy with her journey in the show. 'I outperformed every single thing that I had thought of. This has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life and there is nothing that I would change about it. I'm so happy that I went in the ninth episode because had I gone to the 10th, I would have, I really like ended the game on me and Purav and said 'Hum dono innocents hai'. I'm really glad that I was not in that spot. I'm just very happy about the timing of my exit from the show and the way I played the game was great," she said.
