Apoorva Mukhija Says She Was 'Really Angry' For No Outrage Against Man Who Made Sexist Joke On 'IGL': "I am the TRP!"

Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija has faced backlash for her comments on Samay Raina's 'India's Got Latent'. Now, Apoorva has shared that she was angry when she did not see any amount of outrage for the man who made a sexist joke, to which she replied.

"I Was Really Angry About It..."

In an interview with Yuvaa, Apoorva said, "Is this the first time in this country where there hasn't been an outrage against a man who did a woman wrong? It's not. It is not unheard of. It is not unusual. I was really angry about it, I was angry that why was the news not posting about that? Why were the papers not posting about that? Why were the posts not targeting that man?"

"I Am The Views And He Is Just A Man"

She then went to add, “But he is just a man! And I am the rebel kid. Sensation sells and I am the TRP! He is not! I am the thumbnail. He is a nobody, so I can't be angry at why they didn't tell him anything. Because I chose this, I am a public figure. I am the views and he is just a man, behaving like a man."

About the Controversy:

In February, Ranveer Allahbadia, along with Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva, appeared on the panel of Samay Raina's show 'India's Got Latent'. Apoorva responded to a male participant who made a comment on her private parts during the show, which sparked outrage. There were FIRS filed, and Apoorva also gave a written apology to the National Commission for Women (NCW).

She recently made her comeback on Instagram when she revealed that she even faced sleep paralysis after the controversy because she was being threatened.

"Every single day that I would wake up, something new would be happening. I would have sleep paralysis because I would be scared. Everytime I would wake up there was some new news. My friends would talk to me every day, all the time, to say everything will be fine. They are great people and they had faith in me. I could believe that everything would be alright. I am so glad I had such good people around me," Apoorva said.
