Mumbai, Feb 10: YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has issued a public apology after his controversial remarks on the “India’s Got Latent” show sparked widespread criticism.

Allahbadia, who is known for his BeerBiceps brand, took to social media to express regret over his comment, admitting that it was “not appropriate” and “not even funny.” In a video statement, Ranveer said, “My comment was not appropriate, was not even funny, comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I use my platform, obviously this is not how I wished to use it.”

He added, “I am not going to give any context, any justification, or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just offering an apology. I personally had a lapse in my judgment; it was not cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people from all ages and don’t want to a kind of person that takes responsibility, family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect. Need to use this platform better; that’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to get better; I have asked the makers to remove the insensitive segment from the video. I am sorry; I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”

Sharing the video, Allahbadia wrote on his X handle, “I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s got latent. I’m sorry.”

His apology comes after he received severe backlash on social media for his vulgar comment.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also slammed Ranveer saying anyone who crosses the limits of decency will face appropriate action.

Addressing the media, CM said, “I have been informed about this, though I have not watched it yet. I came to know that it was very vulgar, and this was wrong. Everyone has freedom of speech, but this freedom ends when we encroach upon others’ freedom. Everyone has limits, if anyone crosses them, action will be taken.”

Two lawyers from Mumbai have filed a police complaint against Allahbadia.

Recently, Ranveer appeared on Samay Raina’s show “India’s Got Latent” along with other content creators like Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija. Allahbadia raised eyebrows for asking an inappropriate question to a contestant. He asked the female contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”

The complaint has been lodged with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission, with the complainant demanding strict action against the accused.

Ranveer’s remark has sparked outrage on social media, leading to widespread criticism from netizens and public figures alike.

Lyricist Manoj Muntashir, who was among the first to speak out against the incident, called the comment “vulgar comedy” and accused the creators of lowering the standards of humanity. Taking to his X handle, he wrote, “This is the level of comedy that has lowered the level of humanity. Viruses more dangerous than Covid have entered our mobile phones. These vampires, these perverts, have taken a pledge to make our coming generation devoid of values.”

The lyricist continued, “This is an alarm for parents. Wake up, or you will witness the destruction of your children and your great nation with your own eyes. @MIB_India Immediate action should be taken against all the gentlemen in this panel. If you just stop after reading this post and do not raise your voice, you will be responsible for your own downfall.”

This is not the first time “India’s Got Latent” has attracted controversy. Last week, a case was filed against a contestant from Arunachal Pradesh due to her controversial remark about dog meat.
