Influencer Apoorva Mukhija has come to the defense of her friend Rida Tharana after the latter faced backlash on social media. The backlash occurred when Apoorva posted a video to comment on the India’s Got Latent controversy, during which she name-checked a friend that she supposedly practiced black magic on. While no names were dropped, netizens were quick to speculate that she was speaking of Rida, after which there was a barrage of negative comments.
“This Is The Last Thing That I Wanted”: Apoorva
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Apoorva wrote, “After my video, there have been a lot of assumptions and a lot of hate going around and as much as I appreciate you guys having my back. This is the last thing that I wanted. I wanted to share my story and my feelings – nothing more. So let’s please not jump to conclusions or spread negativity.” The declaration was made as a bid to explain her motives behind the video, which was meant to convey a personal experience and not aimed at anyone in specific.
Apoorva further strengthened her connection with Rida and ended all the rumours by posting a picture with Rida where the two were seen hugging each other. The warm and loving picture was simply captioned, “Only love for @rida.tharana ❤️.”
Apoorva Issues Heartfelt Apology
Earlier in her comeback video, Apoorva offered an emotional apology Irrespective of my intention, I’ve hurt a lot of people, and that’s honestly the last thing I ever wanted to do. I genuinely create content to entertain people and make them laugh. I never intended to hurt anybody, and I’m truly, truly sorry. I should have been more mindful of my words, but I’ve learnt my lesson and I promise I’ll do better moving forward. I just hope you all can forgive me, and I’m very sorry if I hurt your sentiments.”
