Apoorva Mukhija, also known as “The Rebel Kid,” responds to the online backlash that followed remarks and content she posted related to the Kalawa during or around her appearance at Coachella. In an account provided in an interview reported by NDTV, she says she felt her actions were acceptable and explains how the controversy affected her.
The reports frame the incident as a dispute in which commenters criticized her views and/or presentation of the Kalawa, a sacred thread associated with Hindu traditions. NDTV highlights her personal reaction, including her claim that she expected her “god” would not mind. The outlet focuses on her perspective and the social media impact, rather than presenting detailed arguments from critics or officials.
With only this single outlet provided, other perspectives—such as responses from religious groups, event organizers, or cultural commentators—are not included here. The broader context is an online culture clash amplified through social media, tied to religious symbolism and public visibility.
