Apoorva's Insta posts flooded with hate comments

Apoorva Mukhija, who is an actress and content creator, made a "joke" about a woman's vagina while getting involved in a heated exchange with a contestant on India's Got Latent. As the controversy turned legal, with multiple authorities, including NCW, taking cognizance of the matter, Apoorva even appeared before the Mumbai Police and recorded her statement. According to sources, she told cops that she was not paid money for her appearance on Samay Raina's show and that it was not scripted.
