Mumbai Police Records Statements Of 4 Persons In Controversy Over Ranveer Allahbadia’s Comments On ‘India’s Got Latent’
Mumbai: The Mumbai Police on Wednesday recorded the statements of four persons including social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija in connection with the controversial comments made by Ranveer Allahbadia on YouTube show “India’s Got Latent”.
Statements of four persons including Mukhija and Allahbadia’s manager — but not Allahbadia himself — were recorded, said an official of Khar police station.
Mukhija was part of the reality show.
The Maharashtra Cyber Department had on Tuesday registered a First Information Report against the show.
Nilotpal Mrinal Pandey, a functionary of the Maharashtra BJP’s Uttar Bhartiya Morcha, had on Monday filed a complaint against Allahbadia and others after the controversy broke.
If the police did not register an FIR against Allahbadia and other participants of the show, he would move the court, he told reporters on Wednesday.
Pandey also claimed that offensive language was used about disabled persons on the reality show. He himself is disabled, and action should be taken against the participants of the show in this regard too, he said.
Ranveer Allahbadia, who has over 16 million followers across social media platforms, landed in the soup after a video of his controversial comments started making the rounds on social media and led to a massive debate on freedom of speech and what constitutes decency.
He tried to defuse the situation by issuing a video apology where he called his comment a “lapse in judgement” but the issue has refused to die down.
The issue was raised in Parliament by Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske who called for a law to regulate social media.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Tuesday asked Allahabadia, Samay Raina, Apoorva Makhija, Jaspreet Singh, and Ashish Chanchlani, as well as the show’s producers Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra to appear before it on February 17 in New Delhi.

Farhana Bhatt shares unseen glimpses with Rubina Dilaik, Avinash Mishra from ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’ shoot

Mumbai, Oct 14: Actress Farhana Bhatt has shared a series of unseen glimpses from the shoot of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’, offering fans a peek into her off-screen moments with fellow contestants Rubina Dilaik, Avinash Mishra, Orry and others.
The actress posted pictures from her time on the stunt-based reality show, capturing moments of travel and celebrations. In one picture, she is seen posing for a selfie with Rubina and Avinash, while other pictures feature her enjoying the trip, sipping coffee and posing against the backdrop of scenic locations.
She also shared pictures from a hotel celebration, dressed in winter outfits during the trip, and moments with the contestants as they bonded away from the stunt arena.
Farrhana first grabbed attention with her stint in the reality show, ‘Bigg Boss 19’, where her outspoken personality, fiery temper and confrontational approach made her one of the season’s most discussed contestants.
Although she was initially evicted by her fellow housemates, she returned through a twist and went on to finish as the first runner-up, losing the title to Gaurav Khanna.
During her stint on the Salman Khan-hosted show, Farrhana frequently found herself at the centre of arguments. Her choice of words during heated exchanges and her tendency to react strongly drew criticism, with Salman reprimanding her on many occasions during ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’.
However, she continued to stand her ground and remained a prominent presence throughout the season.
Following ‘Bigg Boss 19’, Farrhana took on another challenge with ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’, hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty.
During the grand finale of the show, she spoke about the anxiety she experienced before tasks and how the experience pushed her beyond her perceived limits. She also shared a warm bond with Rubina, describing her as a confident, caring and supportive person.
Beyond reality television, Farrhana has also given fans glimpses of her life in Kashmir. Hailing from Srinagar, the actress has often expressed pride in her roots and shared videos showcasing the region’s natural beauty, traditions and culture.

Adah Sharma reveals she sleeps on the floor in Mumbai home once owned by Sushant Singh Rajput

Mumbai, Oct 13: Actress Adah Sharma has opened up about her minimalist lifestyle, revealing that her home, which was once occupied by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, does not have conventional furniture such as a bed, sofa or dining table.
The actress, known for her performance in ‘The Kerala Story’, spoke about her unusual approach to furnishing her home. In an exclusive quote shared with media, she explained that she prefers not to become too attached to material possessions. “I don’t have a bed because I don’t want to get too attached to anything. Especially furniture. Relationships are already complicated enough. Why buy a bed when gravity gives you a free landing every night? If you sleep on the floor, you can have the entire floor to yourself and that’s larger than any king-sized bed,” she said.
Adah further revealed that her home does not have a sofa or a dining table either. “I don’t have a bed, sofa or dining table. If you come home, we can either stand or develop strong leg muscles.”
Adah reportedly moved into the Mumbai apartment previously occupied by the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It is being said that Sharma signed a five-year lease for the apartment in October 2023, clarifying that she was renting the property and had not purchased it.
She redesigned the space to reflect her minimalist lifestyle, opting for white walls, a prayer room on the lower floor, a terrace garden, a music room and a dance studio.
For the unversed, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, 2020, at the age of 34. During his career, the actor featured in several successful films, including “Chhichhore,” “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,” and “Kai Po Che!” His final film, “Dil Bechara,” was released after his death.
Meanwhile, Adah Sharma will be seen portraying a Devi in her upcoming film. She is also working on another action project and an international film.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana makers unveil first poster of Anupam Kher as Jatayu

Mumbai, Oct 13: The makers of the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana have unveiled the first poster of Jatayu, the revered character from the epic, who will be voiced by actor Anupam Kher.
Titled ‘The Wings of Dharma’, the poster features a close-up of Jatayu, highlighting his intense gaze, while another visual shows the majestic bird with his wings spread wide. The reveal is part of the film’s ongoing character poster campaign.
Sharing the poster on social media, the makers wrote, “When evil took flight, courage rose to meet it. He fought not for victory, but for what was right. Jatayu. The Wings of Dharma. Anupam Kher as Jatayu in Ramayana.”
In the epic, Jatayu is remembered for his attempt to rescue Sita from Ravana. Despite knowing the risks, he confronts Ravana, embodying courage, sacrifice and dharma.
Until now, the makers have released the posters off Lord Ram, KaiiKai, and a few more others.
For the uninitiated, Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the two-part epic is produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations.
The first part of Ramayana is scheduled to release worldwide on November 5, 2026, while the second part is slated for Diwali 2027. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
The makers of Ramayana had recently held a promotional event in Mumbai, which saw global YouTuber MrBeast join the actor, Sai Pallavi and producer Namit Malhotra. However, the event drew criticism after it reportedly began around four hours late, with many media representatives expressing their angst over the delay and lack of communication from the organisers.
But the team further managed it smoothly. Meanwhile, reports have also suggested that Ranbir gave up non-vegetarian food and alcohol while preparing to portray Lord Rama. The actor had earlier spoken about adopting a vegetarian lifestyle and giving up alcohol and smoking as part of a broader effort to improve his health, although the claim that these changes were specifically made for the film has been a subject of discussion.
