When life hands you controversy, make content—especially if you are The Rebel Kid. After months of deafening silence and an internet scandal that got uglier by the minute, Apoorva Mukhija is back. And not just back, she is back with a mic drop.

On April 9 at 6 pm, Apoorva premiered her new YouTube video titled “Till I Say It Is”—and yes, that title alone says she is not here to play nice. This is her first Story Time episode since the nuclear-level chaos that erupted after the infamous India’s Got Latent episode, which landed several internet stars—including her—on the nation’s cancel radar.

ICYMI: India’s Got Latent, hosted by comedian Samay Raina, spiralled into controversy after deeply criticised comments were made during a panel episode. YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps took the bulk of the heat for an uncomfortable question involving sex and parents.

But Apoorva Mukhija, comedian Jaspreet Singh, and content creator Ashish Chanchlani also caught fire for allegedly inappropriate remarks. The episode triggered not just public outrage but also an investigation, police summons, and calls from the National Commission for Women.

While others retreated or posted carefully worded apologies, The Rebel Kid chose silence—until now. Her latest video marks her bold comeback and has already stirred reactions, both supportive and spicy.

But the story does not end there. Just a day before dropping the video, Apoorva returned to Instagram with a chilling carousel of screenshots showcasing the death, rape, and acid attack threats she has received. In her caption, she made it clear this was only “not even 1%” of what she had endured.

Cue the internet sisterhood moment: Pakistani actress Hania Aamir reposted Apoorva’s story and clapped back at the hate brigade, saying there is “a separate place in hell” for those who send such vile threats. Fans are now rallying around the duo, calling it a cross-border moment of solidarity.

What's up Ranveer Allahbadia?

Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia has also re-emerged online after the Supreme Court called his comments “vulgar” and granted him interim protection from arrest in February. He has promised to be more responsible going forward.

For now, all eyes are back on The Rebel Kid—and honestly, she is owning this messy comeback arc like a Gen Z phoenix. Drama? Check. Internet justice? Pending. But one thing is clear: she is not going anywhere.
