You Tuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced criticism following his recent appearance at Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. The YouTuber goes by the name of Beer Biceps asked lewd questions about parental intercourse to a contestant which did not sit well with social media users. Demands to boycott the influencer grew louder as soon as the clips went viral.
Allahbadia’s followers crashed massively and commercial brands pulled out of business with him. Amid this, the YouTuber took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to issue an apology in the matter. On February 10, a day following clips from India’s Got Latent went viral, Ranveer Allahbadia took to his X (formerly Twitter) to issue an apology video. The influencer said that the statements he made on the show were ‘not funny or cool’. He also stressed that he meant no disrespect to family and that his podcast is heard by people of all ages and so he should have used his reach better.

He said, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. This is not how I want to use my platform. I am just here for an apology. I had a lapse in judgement. Wasn’t cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages, don’t want to be that person who wants to take that responsibility lightly and family is the last thing I would ever want to disrespect. I need to use that platform better that has been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to get better. I have asked the makers to remove the insensitive parts from the video.” Samay Raina and other members of the India’s Got Latent show are yet to react to the situation.
A formal complaint has been filed against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the organizers of the show India’s Got Latent following a series of alleged controversial remarks made on the show. The complaint, registered with both Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission, alleges that abusive language was used on the show.
