The post opened with a trigger warning and showcased hundreds of screenshots filled with rape threats, acid attack mentions, and death threats.
Her caption:

This comeback was not about aesthetics or algorithms—it was a resilient stance against digital abuse.
Fans Applaud Her Strength
Apoorva’s return was met with overwhelming support. Her followers rallied behind her with comments of encouragement and admiration.
- “COME BACK. We don’t deserve the story, but you deserve the love.”
- “You are such a strong girl!! My queen, you absolutely got this.”
- “They wanted you quiet. It’s time that you give them a big Roar!”
The flood of positive reactions highlights how her transparency and courage resonated deeply with her community.
The India’s Got Latent Controversy Explained
The controversy traces back to February 2025, when Apoorva appeared on the YouTube show India’s Got Latent, hosted by comedian Samay Raina.
During the episode, influencer Ranveer Allahbadia made crude remarks about parents and sex, triggering a storm of backlash. Multiple FIRs were filed in Mumbai against all three guests: Ranveer, Apoorva, and Samay.
Apoorva was summoned by the Mumbai police, and the National Commission for Women (NCW) stepped in, condemning the vulgar content and initiating inquiries.
Facing the Fallout with Grace
Despite the intense public scrutiny, Apoorva remained composed and silent—until now. Her return to Instagram wasn’t just a comeback; it was a declaration of agency, survival, and resistance.
Her choice to share the scale of the abuse she faced publicly is being seen as a call to re-evaluate online toxicity, especially toward women influencers.
A Broader Conversation on Digital Safety
Apoorva’s experience highlights a recurring issue in Indian digital spaces—the unchecked trolling and harassment women face when they express bold opinions or appear in controversial content.
The incident has reignited conversations around free speech, cyber law enforcement, and influencer responsibility.
