Fans were quite disappointed when social media star Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, got evicted from The Traitors. What made them even more upset was when Apoorva's rival, Uorfi Javed, won the show along with Nikita Luther. Apoorva survived till the very end of the Prime Vide reality show, and said that she is happy to have gotten this opportunity. In an interview with SCREEN, Apoorva spoke about her experience on the show. She also opened up about her equation with Purav Jha and her fight with Uorfi Javed. Apoorva also slammed Sidhanshu Pandey for his comments against her.
Apoorva recalled the various rules that contestants had to follow during the show. When asked if her contract denied her the ability to quit the show midway, The Rebel Kid shared, 'If you could leave the game midway, I would have left after the fourth episode, but there was no rule like that. I don't think anyone indulged in physical violence. I got my contract read from Chat GPT, so I am not sure. But that also didn't give me everything I needed to know. I was only concerned about the money, the NDA, and nothing else.'

Talking about her link-up rumours with co-contestant Purav Jha, Apoorva clarified, 'There is absolutely nothing between me and Purav, I didn't even know that he has spoken nicely about me in his VDs. I was shocked to see them; he was making fun of me, so I thought I would look like a fool for trusting him. He considered me to be his friend, but you cannot stop the internet from shipping us.'
Apoorva and Uorfi were at loggerheads throughout their time on the show, and their differences only became more pronounced afterwards. Talking about the same, she said, 'She took the story time video personally, and it blew up into drama. Every time I went and sat in the group, she would get up and leave. I am a petty person, so I would never go and clear things out. My goal in life is not to be understood; I was there to catch a traitor and be entertaining. I was dramatic, and I don't care if people misunderstand me; they are not paying my bills.'
Apoorva also reacted to comments Sudhanshu Pandey made about her in his recent interviews. Calling the Anupamaa actor misogynistic, Apoorva said, 'Sudhanshu ji has spoken a lot more outside than he did in the game. I also texted him that he called me his child, so he could have texted me once; this could have been a private conversation. I am sorry if he felt that way, but I cannot go and clarify everything that is said about me on the internet. He also said in an interview that there is a difference between boys and girls, but today, girls think they will live like boys, which also stems from a lot of misogyny, more than moral policing. I have done everything on my behalf. People have only cut reels out of one thing, sir, then why me? We could have spoken about the game.'
