When asked about her guest lineup, she revealed that Mouni Roy, Elnaaz Norouzi, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Avinash Tiwary will appear on the show. Expressing admiration for her guests, she said, “I have been a big fan of Mouni Roy after watching her in Naagin. Nushrratt is also very sweet. I told her that we should become friends,”
Apoorva, who holds a B.Tech degree, quit her engineering job to pursue digital content creation full time. Speaking about her motivation, she said, “I love to talk. During COVID, there was no one to talk to. Hence, I made Camera my friend. TikTok was banned then. Hence, I started making reels. At that time, I wanted to earn money. Now, I get it. I do everything for money. It’s my priority. I just love to do it.”
