Apoorva Mukhija On NYU Donation Claims: Are You All Mad?

MUMBAI-Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid, who recently moved to New York to study, has responded to speculation that she secured admission to New York University (NYU) after making a donation.

In her latest YouTube clip, Apoorva said she has always been a good student and that her years of experience working with various brands also helped her secure a place at the university of her choice.

“Are you all mad? Firstly, I don’t have so much money to donate, and the fees here are so much that it feels like donation,” the Rebel Kid said in response to the speculation.

“From a B-school point of view, I have been exceptional in all my academics. I have crazy work experience. I have worked with all of the top brands in the country. I have done reality TV; I have acted. I have grown my Instagram and my YouTube to 4.8 Million to 1.8 Million subscribers. It is literally a business that I have been running for the last five years. I have employees who work under me. I have a team that works with me. My interview skills are top-notch; if you ever interview me for any job, I will get it because I know how to talk! The one thing that I know how to do is talk! So no, I am not here after giving donations,” she further explained.

She said she had always wanted to study abroad and that it had been a lifelong dream.

Apoorva also said that while people advised her against moving away from India at the peak of her career and called her decision to shift to New York “career suicide”, she said the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy had affected her mentally. (IANS)
