So, Apoorva Mukhija — yeah, you might have seen her online as The Rebel Kid. She’s one of those creators who just somehow went up in no time, but also makes you feel like “okay, she actually gets it.” Not one of those glammy-influencer types, but someone who just seems to know exactly what everyone is thinking, but funnier.
She is around 23 or 24 now, born sometime in 2001 (most people say July, but she never made such a big deal about birthdays on her social). Grew up in India, did the routine academic thing; she actually has a tech background. Like, full-on B.Tech in Computer Science from Manipal University, Jaipur. Not the kind of education you’d expect from someone going viral for reels and snappy monologues, right?
Before the whole content creator fever started catching her, she worked as an intern in such a big firm like Dell for web and development stuff. But in the process, she picked up a camera and started voicing her mind online, and people just hooked onto it. It’s that kind of blend of sarcasm, rawness, and honestly? Really sharp lives insightful observation on day-to-day life relationship and the weird stuff we all think but don’t say.
Doesn’t talk too much about her personal life, which is quite refreshing unlike the whole “big reveal” posts not overly behind the scenes. And talking about religion? Some blogs list her as Hindu but that’s all guesswork – she doesn’t talk about that kind of thing. Height, family, relationships: you’ll find a ton of speculation, but she keeps it all pretty close to the chest.
Now let’s talk about money, because the internet loves to exaggerate. Articles said that her income is 2.5 lakh per day or that her net worth is 41 crore- super viral headlines. But Apoorva herself actually laughed those off and said that those numbers are way off base. More realistically, she should be doing well, maybe just nearing 1 crore net worth through brand deals, collabs, YouTube, maybe some speaking gigs, but nowhere near that influencer billionaire stuff people try to paint.
What I appreciate about her is that she feels…normal. She’s smart, funny, and confident, but all without putting on an act. Her content is relatable without trying too hard, and it doesn’t seem like she is doing it for fame or money, just for herself. Somehow, that is exactly what people connect with.
In 2025, she would be doing absolutely well – still making videos, probably planning for bigger moves behind the curtains. But whether or not she continues with content-making and branches into something entirely new, she is one of those people who will never go out of relevance because she is so real.
