Popular content creator Apoorva Mukhija, better known as Rebel Kid, has just dropped a candid and humorous video on her YouTube channel, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look into her recent glow-up journey that cost her around Rs 3 lakh. In the 11-minute vlog, Apoorva shared that that she got everything from a hair makeover and teeth veneers to nails, brows, and even a facial massage, all documented with her signature self-deprecating humour and quirky commentary. The vlog opened with Apoorva introducing herself in her trademark satirical style, saying:
Her first stop was a salon visit where she got her hair coloured, not without some light-hearted jabs at herself: “Maine sir ko bola 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’ll need a hair transplant.) Joining her in the salon was fellow influencer Anmol Bhatia, who also gets her hair coloured. Apoorva wrapped up her salon visit with a pedicure before moving on to the next step in her glow-up.
The video then took us to a dental clinic where Apoorva underwent teeth whitening and talked openly about getting veneers: “This is not my actual real teeth. I absolutely hated what my actual teeth looked like. I have gotten veneers, which basically means unhone mere purane daanton ke upar naye daant laga diye hai, cement kar diya.” (They put new teeth over my original ones and cemented them in.) She also addressed the online trolling she’s faced in recent weeks for her veneers: “So, all the comments about veneers were like ‘Oh my God, I’m so sad, she used to look so pretty.’ And I just have one question for you all, are you all blind? People were like ‘you look so unnatural’, so I’m like, yeah, because my natural was so ugly.”
Next, Apoorva visited her dermatologist and continued to poke fun at her own transformation: “Mujhe vishwas nahi ho raha hai ki main life mein itni ameer ho chuki hoon ki mere paas ye bhinn-bhnn prakaar ke doctors hai. Mere papa bachpan mein ek uncle ko phone lagate the jo humari building mein rehte the, aur wohi humari saari beemariyon ka ilaaj kar dete the. Humare papa kabhi humein doctor ke paas lekar nahi jaate the, kehte the ki Combiflam kha lo, sab theek ho jaayega. But now look at me, taking six appointments in a day.” (I can’t believe I’ve become so rich that I now have different types of doctors. As a child, my father would just call an uncle from our building to treat all our illnesses. He never took us to a doctor, he’d just say take Combiflam and everything will be fine.)
She wrapped up the day with a visit to a nail salon where she opts for cat-eye nails that change colour: “I got one of those cat-eye nails whose colour keeps changing, because for my 24th birthday, I wanted to do something that truly reflects what my life has been for the past 23 years, which is: my life surrounded by people who keep changing their colours.”
In the closing moments of the video, after her glow-up is complete, Apoorva signed off in her trademark style: “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. Nothing really changed even after spending Rs 3 lakh, except for my teeth, which you all seem to hate. So if you liked this video, please like, share, and subscribe, and help me earn my Rs 5 lakh back.”
For those unfamiliar, Apoorva Mukhija made headlines earlier this year when she appeared on comedian Samay Raina’s controversial panel show India’s Got Latent, alongside creators like Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani. The episode sparked massive backlash online due to its use of objectionable language, leading to FIRs against the panel members. The situation escalated so much that Apoorva was reportedly asked to vacate her rented home.
Most recently, Apoorva appeared in Amazon Prime Video’s reality show The Traitors and was also featured in filmmaker Farah Khan’s YouTube series, where Farah visits celebrity homes with her personal chef, Dilip.
