Social media star Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, is once again at the centre of online chatter — this time not for her razor-sharp humour or viral reels, but for her rumoured love life.
The influencer recently dropped a carousel of playful Instagram photos, but eagle-eyed fans quickly zoomed in on one particular image featuring a mystery man beside her. The subtle inclusion has sparked speculation of a possible “soft launch” of a new relationship, sending Reddit threads and comment sections into overdrive.
Who Is the Man Seen With Apoorva Mukhija?
According to online speculation, the man spotted in Apoorva’s post is Amin Jaz, a podcast host best known for co-hosting the popular Untriggered Podcast alongside friends Stuvi Krishnan, Yug Patil, and Krishna Vasisht.
Interestingly, Apoorva had appeared on Amin’s podcast in 2024, but neither party has confirmed being romantically involved. Despite the lack of official confirmation, fans believe the recent Instagram post adds weight to long-running rumours.
Netizens Spot the Duo Together at Events
Fueling the buzz further are multiple claims from social media users who allege they’ve seen Apoorva and Amin together at public events.
One user commented,
“Saw them making out during the event! They didn’t even seem to care if someone recognised them.”
Another wrote,
“Saw them together at Lollapalooza yesterday. Even spoke to the guy and told him there are rumours about them on Reddit.”
Others pointed out Amin’s consistent support for Apoorva on his podcast, with one fan noting,
“I’ve never seen Amin speak against Rebel — he’s always rooting for her.”
Still, the internet being the internet, not all reactions were romantic. One comment that gained traction read:
“The breakup is gonna be epic. More content for the subreddit.”
A Shadow of the Past: Apoorva’s Previous Relationship Controversy
Some fans believe Apoorva may be hesitant to go public due to her past relationship with influencer Utsav Dahiya, which ended amid online drama.
Last year, Utsav sparked controversy after sharing a video singing about a “cute little red flag” — a phrase closely associated with Apoorva’s content — which many interpreted as a subtle dig.
Referencing this, a fan commented,
“After what happened with Utsav, I don’t think she’ll reveal her boyfriend publicly anytime soon.”
From Lockdown Creator to Mainstream Star
Apoorva Mukhija rose to prominence during the COVID-19 lockdown, building a massive Gen Z following through relatable, sarcastic takes on dating, family pressure, and everyday chaos.
Originally from Delhi, she holds a B.Tech in Computer Engineering from Manipal University, Jaipur, and later moved to Mumbai to pursue content creation full-time. Her distinct voice helped her land collaborations with top brands including Nike, Meta, Amazon, Google, Spotify, Swiggy, and Maybelline.
Her career crossed into mainstream entertainment in 2024, when she made her Bollywood debut in Nadaaniyan alongside Khushi Kapoor and Ibrahim Ali Khan, and later appeared on Prime Video’s reality show The Traitors.
Controversies Along the Way
Despite her success, Apoorva’s journey hasn’t been without turbulence. Her appearance on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent sparked backlash after remarks made by her and fellow guest Ranveer Allahbadia, triggering widespread debate on social media.
Still, Apoorva continues to command strong engagement, with fans closely tracking every move — personal or professional.
The Big Question: Is It Official?
As of now, neither Apoorva Mukhija nor Amin Jaz has confirmed a relationship. Until then, what fans are seeing may simply be close friendship — or a carefully timed soft launch.
Either way, the internet is watching closely.
