For the uninitiated, in February 2025, Apoorva was one of the panellists in Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India Got Latent. The panellists also included YouTuber, Ashish Chanchlani, and comedian, Jaspreet Singh. It was a bonus episode, where Ranveer Allahabadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, was also featured alongside the other panellists. The controversy started when both Apoorva and Ranveer made vulgar comments on the show. Soon, the clips of the YouTubers went viral and both of them faced an extreme backlash. Following the public outrage, Samay Raina deleted all the episodes of his show. Several complaints were made against Apoorva for her disgusting comments on the show.
