I Was Paid to Create Drama”: Apoorva Mukhija Makes Explosive Revelation About Lock Upp 2

Apoorva Mukhija, who is also known as The Rebel Kid, has made an eye-popping admission to Lock Upp 2 viewers that she was brought on the reality show to cause drama and create conflicts in the contestants’ lives.

Apoorva took criticism from viewers who accused her of deliberately provoking arguments for attention. And, responding to this criticism, she said that drama is, in fact, part of the job she was given by the makers of the show.

Apoorva explained, “My job was to create fights. I was paid to create drama.” She said she entered Lock Upp 2 not as a regular contestant and that she was an Informer, a role for a person that challenges housemates, exposes secrets, and increases competition. She said that her actions were shaped by the format of the show and not by her personal hostility toward any participant.

And it’s not that she deliberately picked fights to get more screen time, she said. She was doing what the production crew told her to do and how to do it. Her confession has reignited a debate on reality television and how much conflict and confrontation are purposefully planned for entertainment.

Apoorva’s comments soon went viral on social media and fans were divided. And although some were grateful for her candor and open communication about reality television, others questioned her candor and transparency as a reality television producer and viewer and whether it diminishes the authenticity of the shows marketed as unscripted entertainment.

Apoorva has been the person who has become an instant celebrity for her fiery opinions and funny stories on the internet and has received more attention in the past. She had many heated exchanges on Lock Upp 2 and was one of the season’s most talked-about personalities. The Informer role brought the game into play and was often very unpredictable and caused high energy in the house.

Apoorva also faced trolls after being eliminated, but she said she felt no regrets about getting into the show and had done what she was put in the job to do. She is a clear-cut example of the kind of person who’s been so unapologetic that people love reality television because it is true that it is the kind of show that has always been full of authentic emotion with producer-driven twists to keep viewers engaged.

If Lock Upp 2 is going to end with a bang, Apoorva Mukhija’s confession adds a new layer of intrigue to the season.
