Content creator Apoorva Mukhija, known as “The Rebel Kid,” addresses the viral kissing video involving her boyfriend, DJ and podcast host Amin Jaz. She says the clip was recorded about a year earlier at a private setting, and that she and Amin were unaware a camera was rolling. She also describes learning the video had surfaced while travelling, after messages alerted her to the widespread online discussion.
Mukhija says she was flying back to New York from Turkey with a layover at London’s Heathrow Airport when she checked her phone and found it “flooded” with people asking about the video. She recounts sitting down in the crowded airport and crying as she tried to process what had happened. She adds that the situation became more distressing because her parents also saw the clip, even though they were not aware she was dating Amin.
Across the outlets, the accounts focus on the same core points: the timing of the recording (about a year before it went viral), her claim of not knowing the video was being recorded, and her emotional reaction after discovering it during a Heathrow layover, including that her parents had watched it.
