Mumbai: Content creator Apoorva Mukhija, better known as Rebel Kid, has revealed that she has relocated from India to New York.
Opening up about the move, the influencer said she decided to shift abroad to pursue her studies and explore a new phase of her life.
During her appearance on the podcast Untriggered By AminJaz, Apoorva shared that she is looking forward to meeting new people, discovering new experiences and adapting to a different environment.
When asked why she chose New York over other destinations around the world, the influencer explained, “I have travelled quite a lot, and when I landed in New York, I was like I really want to live here. There’s something about this city; it’s so fast, everyone is so well-dressed, the food is great and I love the architecture. I have seen New York in every single web series that I love, and so I always wanted to live there. So I applied to only one college in New York, and now I got in.”
Apoorva admitted that while moving to New York had always been a dream, the transition has also made her feel nervous.
She said her friends, career and everything familiar are still in India, while she is now preparing to return to student life, live in a dorm and pursue an MBA.
She added that relocating abroad was also a way to meet new people and expand her social circle beyond the creator community.
Apoorva further said that her “kaleshi aurat” phase has now come to an end and that she has become more mindful of what works for her audience when creating content.
She also shared that she intends to continue making content from New York, but on her own terms. However, fans may not see her posting her trademark storytime videos as regularly as before.
On the professional front, Apoorva was last seen on the Netflix reality show Lock Upp Season 2.
She entered the house as an undercover informant for two weeks, with the task of disrupting the dynamics among the contestants.
The season eventually came to an end with Shreya Kalra being crowned the winner.
