Apoorva recently expressed frustration with selective anger, questioning why there was no similar reaction to the sexist men she responded to on the show.
In February, a male participant made inappropriate comments about the private part of Apoorva Makhija, which caused controversy on Samay Raina’s show The Hidden in India, which was a controversy. She responded strongly, and the incident caused widespread anger and led to FIR. Apoorva then submitted a written apology to the National Commission for Women (NCW). However, in a recent interview, Apoorva expressed frustration at selective anger, questioning why there was no similar reaction to the men who responded to the sexist jokes she responded to on the show.
In a candid interview with Yuvaa, Apoorva Makhija shared her thoughts on why the focus was mainly on her reactions rather than on the sexist jokes of male participants. “Is this the first time in this country anger at a man who did a woman wrong? No. It's not unheard of. It's not uncommon,” Apoorva said.
She further expressed her anger and said, “I'm really angry, I'm very angry, why didn't this news come out? Why didn't these papers publish this news? Why didn't these posts target that man?” She further emphasized the cruel reality of being a public figure, saying, “But he is a man! I'm a rebellious child. Feeling sold, I'm a TRP! He's not! He's abbreviated abbreviation. He's a nobody. He's a person, so I can't be angry, I can't be angry why they didn't tell him this public.
Apoorva made a surprising move on April 1, amid potential controversy in India. Without any prior warning, she deleted all Instagram posts, confusing her 3 million followers. The sudden action has sparked widespread speculation, some linking it to recent controversy, while others suspect April’s prank. Despite the buzz, Apoorva has not confirmed the reasons behind its actions.
On the work side, Apoorva recently appeared in the Karan Johar-backed film Nadaaniyan, where she played the role of Khushi Kapoor's best friend.
