Apoorva’s name removed from IIFA’s list of promoters

Social media influencer Apoorva Makhija’s name has been removed from IIFA’s list of promoters, sources said on Friday, adding she is “no more officially included in the list” of individuals previously picked. However, on Friday, IIFA officials confirmed that her name has been removed from the list of IIFA promoters following the massive row over podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s crass remarks on India’s Got Latent. She was also a part of the team of panelists. On Thursday, a legal complaint had been filed against popular YouTubers Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahabadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija in Kota over allegedly obscene and offensive remarks about parents in their comedy show India’s Got Latent.
