‘God gave me Aishwarya’s attitude, but not her face’: Apoorva Mukhija aka Rebel Kid spends Rs 3 lakh on her makeover
Popular content creator Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, has dropped a new vlog on her YouTube channel.
In the 11-minute video, Apoorva took fans through her recent Rs 3-lakh glow-up journey. She shared that she got everything from hair colour and dental veneers to brows, nails, and even a facial massage, all delivered with her trademark self-depreciating humour and unfiltered commentary.
Apoorva opens the vlog in her signature satirical style, saying, “Log mujhe pyaar se kuch nahi bulate hai, kyunki log mujhe pyaar se bulate hi nahi hai. (People don’t call me anything lovingly, because no one calls me with love.)”
She goes on to explain the motivation behind the transformation, adding, “So I started introspecting about why people did not like me, and then I realised it is not me, it is God’s fault. He gave me Aishwarya Rai’s attitude, but this face. So I have decided to change myself physically.”
The glow-up kicked off at a salon, where Apoorva (joined by influencer Anmol Bhatia) got her hair coloured, not without some light-hearted jabs at herself: “Maine sir k obol diya hai ki aap mere baal bleach nahi kar sakte, kyunki mere sar par chaar hi baal bache hai. Aur agar yeh bhi jhad gaye toh mujhe hair transplant karwana padega. (I told the stylist not to bleach my hair because I only have four strands left on my head. If these fall out too, I will need a hair transplant.)
Her day included a pedicure, brow shaping, a dermatologist visit, and finally cat-eye nails that change colour: “I got nails that reflect my life—surrounded by people who keep changing colours.”
In one of the vlog’s rawest moments, Apoorva opens up about getting teeth veneers. She clarifies that the veneers are cemented over her original teeth, and she got them simply because she disliked how her real teeth looked. Apoorva also addresses online trolling about her appearance: “People said, ‘She used to look so pretty.’ And I just have one question for you all, are you all blind? My natural teeth were so ugly.”
Poking fun at her elevated lifestyle, Apoorva contrasts it with her childhood: “I can’t believe I have become so rich that I now have different types of doctors. Back then, my dad would call an uncle from the building for all illnesses. Now I am out here booking six appointments a day.”
The vlog ended on an honest note. Apoorva signed off by saying, “I spent close to Rs 3 lakh, and this is what I finally look like now. I honestly look the same. Whatever little difference is there is because of the makeup. So if you like this video, please like, share, and subscribe, and help me earn Rs 5 lakh back.”
Apoorva made headlines earlier this year after appearing on Samay Raina’s show “India’s Got Latent”, which sparked backlash and FIR over offensive content. She was reportedly asked to vacate her rented flat following the uproar.
