The first catfight of The Traitors India took place between Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid. Following that, the latter started telling her side of the story. In doing so, she has taken a dig at Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss. Apoorva has openly dissed Bigg Boss by calling The Traitors a 'smarter show.' Here's everything she said...
Apoorva Mukhija takes a dig at herself and how Bigg Boss was banned at her home
Apoorva Mukhija was not well-versed with reality shows before signing The Traitors. She spoke about Bigg Boss during her YouTube vlog and said, "Meri mummy ne mujhe bachpan main Bigg Boss bhi nahi dekhne diya tha. Mummy kehti thi, ‘Bigg Boss dekhoge toh gaali dene ki aadat lag jayegi." She then ended up taking a dig at her own self. "Abhi bhi gaali dene ki gandi aadat hai mujhe toh isse badhiya mummy mujhe Bigg Boss dekhne deti," Apoorva joked around.
The Rebel Kid calls The Traitors a 'smarter show' as compared to Bigg Boss
Even as stating so, The Rebel Kid mentioned that The Traitors and Bigg Boss are similar in a sense. She pointed out how people started using abusive language on both the shows for no reason. Making her acting debut with Ibrahim Ali Khan-Khushi Kapoor's Naadaaniyan earlier this year, Apoorva is, however, of the belief that in some sense, The Traitors is a smarter show. Interestingly, the comment comes after her revelations about the catfight with Uorfi Javed on Karan Johar's The Traitors India. Uorfi also gained popularity after her brief stint on Bigg Boss OTT.

Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija got into an argument during their time on The Traitors. While it happened on camera, a lot happened off camera too. In her video, Apoorva explained how she was already feeling low emotionally because she was missing her mother, which is when Uorfi came to ask her what's wrong. That commenced the fight between those who promised 'behen code' within the first two days of the reality show. As per Apoorva, abusive language was used and thus, she felt like she didn't belong on the show. Uorfi has also responded to the same by stating that she felt disrespected and that caused her reaction.
