Apoorva Mukhija-Utsav Dahiya's saga takes a new twist after his new Instagram video “Cute Little Red Flags”

Apoorva Makhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, has carved a niche for herself as a youth icon through her content creation. She grabbed massive headlines during the controversial India’s Got Latent episode, which sparked outrage following Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks. Making a strong return, she appeared on Amazon Prime Video’s The Traitors. Now, Utsav Dahiya has shared a reel featuring a self-composed song.

As the controversy around India’s Got Latent contestant Apoorva Mukhija began to settle, Dahiya shared a video on August 17 implying that Apoorva had cheated on him. His track, “Cute Little Red Flags,” also makes use of a phrase often featured in Mukhija’s videos.

Amid the ongoing friendship drama, Rebel Kid’s ex-boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, grabbed attention once again. The duo dated in early 2023 before confirming their breakup on January 31.

In his Instagram caption Utsav Dahiya wrote: “Never try to gain sympathy by fabricating lies or pushing false narratives just to make content and assassinate someone’s character online. Having a big following doesn’t give you the right to bully your way by rage-baiting your audience and unleashing them on others.”

“When I was being falsely painted as a cheat and an abuser because of things you said, I reached out to you and your agency hoping to find a way to deal with the hate. Instead, I was told "you’re a nobody, you should be happy you got to date her". So here’s a message from that ‘nobody’: you tried your level best (and I won’t lie, it wasn’t easy), but I’m still here, still standing. That should tell you something: your big numbers only matter on an app. There's a real and much bigger world outside - beyond lies and kalesh.”

Truth doesn't need 'followers', it stands on its own, he continued.
