Apoorva Mukhija-Sufi Motiwala And Rida Tharana Friendship Timeline: Where It All Began

Friendships in the influencer world are often just as dramatic as their content. Apoorva Mukhija, a rising content creator, has been at the centre of social media conversations not just for her videos but also for her statements, friendships, and personal drama. Her bond with Sufi Motiwala and Rida Tharana has caught the attention of many, with fans trying to piece together how these relationships started, grew, and eventually became part of bigger controversies. Let’s take a look at the complete timeline of Apoorva Mukhija’s friendship with Sufi Motiwala, Rida Tharana, and all about the recent drama surrounding her ex’s new song.

Apoorva Mukhija-Sufi Motiwala Friendship Timeline

Apoorva Mukhija and Sufi Motiwala first connected through the influencer circle and in the reality show ‘Traitors’, where their fun-loving personalities quickly clicked. Their videos together after the show, filled with quirky banter and relatable content, made fans root for their bond. However, like many influencer friendships, they also faced rough patches, which sparked discussions online about whether their friendship was just for content or genuinely strong.

Sufi replied to the speculation by posting a story with the statement, “NO MORE LIES. I've received a lot of texts saying I've taken clout from Apoorva and I've left her I've literally never collabed on a reel w her and have been on her yt twice both of which were her content pieces entirely. So no I'm sorry I didn't use her for clout (incase u forgot we were on the same show w out knowing each other I don't need her clout) I wanted to be friends w apoorva mukhija not the rebel kid when there was no accountability constantly for how I was being treated I distanced myself. I even requested her to ask her audience to calm down because they've been abusing me for no reason. Sadly this person who called me her best friend has no concern for that and or the fact that maybe im hurt. THAT is why im not friends w her anymore. Keep it cute keep it moving. Idc about anything u think im a horrible person, ok? But I've worked my ass off tobuild myself to where I am and I won't let a bunch of children discredit that by spreading misinformation.”

Apoorva Mukhija-Rida Tharana Friendship Timeline

The friendship between Rida Tharana and Apoorva Mukhija, also known as The Rebel Kid, has been one of the most talked-about bonds in the influencer space. Rida and Apoorva were known to be close friends, often seen together in content, supporting each other online, and forming part of the same social circles and travelling together. 

Things took a turn when Apoorva appeared on Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent in 2024. A controversial segment involving Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) triggered massive backlash against Apoorva. She received intense trolling, harassment, and even death and sexual assault threats online.

During this phase, many fans noticed Rida’s absence from the public conversation. She faced criticism for not openly supporting Apoorva when the backlash was at its peak. The drama escalated when Apoorva mentioned experiencing black magic from a friend, which sparked online speculation linking Rida.

Apoorva quickly addressed the rumours, urging her followers not to spread negativity or make assumptions. She clarified that there was only love for Rida, and she didn’t want her fans to attack or misunderstand her friend.

Rida also spoke up, she explained that she did not want to get into endless justifications, and that it was painful to see everything she had done being twisted and misinterpreted. Rida also revealed she was simultaneously dealing with her mother’s health struggles while financially supporting her family, which explained her limited public involvement during the controversy.
