Apoorva Makhija, known as “Rebel Kid,” confirms she has moved out of India and is now in New York City. She shares this through social media and a podcast appearance, telling listeners and followers that the move is tied to her personal and professional plans.
Across the outlets, she describes being drawn to New York after visiting and feeling that the city fits her ambitions. She cites the city’s fast pace, fashion-conscious culture, food, and architecture, and says she was influenced by seeing New York in popular web series. She also connects the move to education goals, saying she sought better opportunities and planned advanced studies, including a master’s track in fashion or management.
The sources differ mainly in emphasis: one report highlights her broader rationale of better business prospects and advanced studies; another focuses more on her direct “I don’t live in India anymore” update and the specific moment she decides she wants to live in New York, including her approach to applying to college.
