Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy Live Updates

In July 2021, Ranveer Allahbadia faced heavy criticism for a sexist remark suggesting that women in kurtas are irresistibly attractive. He wrote, “Any girl becomes a 100x more attractive in a long kurti paired with those big earrings. Life hack that brings all guys to their knees.” Many users slammed the comment, mocking him for having an outdated mindset and suggesting he belonged to a different era.

In April 2021, Ranveer tweeted, “If your entire opinion about someone is decided according to their political opinion, the problem is with your political opinion,” while simultaneously declaring himself ‘apolitical.’ This contradiction did not sit well with his followers, who questioned the irony of his statement.

In July 2023, during an interview with advocate J. Sai Deepak, Ranveer sparked controversy by directly asking which individuals should leave India. The advocate’s response, which included journalists and historians, triggered widespread backlash. Despite the criticism, Ranveer did not remove the podcast episode.

In April 2024, Ranveer landed in another controversy after promoting an unverified claim about a village in Malappuram, Kerala, allegedly enforcing Islamic law. His remarks were widely condemned, adding to his growing list of contentious statements.

Ranveer Allahbadia is now facing additional criticism after netizens discovered that the controversial joke he made on India's Got Latent was not originally his. The joke appears to have been taken from a YouTube group called the OG Crew, whose video was posted two weeks prior. This revelation has led many to believe that Allahbadia knowingly borrowed the joke and deliberately chose to use it on the show.

As soon as the clip resurfaced on X, social media users began expressing their disappointment. One user commented, "Oh! He stole the script, lol." Another sarcastically wrote, "@BeerBicepsGuy, it was just a coincidence! Sure!"

NCMIndia Council For Men Affairs has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding India's Got Latent, urging Mumbai Police to take strict action against comedian Samay Raina, podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, and the show's makers. In a tweet, the organization stated:

"We will welcome any action taken by Mumbai Police against #samayraina #RanveerAllahabadia and makers of India's Got Latent but if they will not take the same action against this woman too then it will be really problematic."

Indian singer and music director B Praak has declined to appear on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast following the latter’s inappropriate remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. Calling the incident “pathetic,” the singer urged all panel members to show respect for comedy.

Praak took to Instagram to express his disappointment over Ranveer’s sexually offensive comment, announcing that he would no longer participate in the scheduled podcast episode. He condemned Ranveer’s choice of words, stating that such remarks are “pathetic” and go against Indian cultural values. Expressing disbelief, he criticized the nature of the discussions about parents on the show, emphasizing that such content cannot be classified as comedy or stand-up.

Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, known as "BeerBiceps," is facing severe backlash after making an inappropriate remark on the latest episode of India's Got Latent. The comment, widely criticized as offensive and distasteful, has sparked outrage on social media and even led to an official complaint being filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women's Commission.

According to ANI, the complaint demands strict action against Allahbadia for allegedly using abusive language on the show. The controversy erupted when he posed an unsettling hypothetical question to a contestant, which quickly went viral. Clips of the moment spread rapidly across social media, drawing widespread criticism for its nature and tone.

The episode also featured social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina, and content creator Ashish Chanchlani as co-panelists. However, it was Allahbadia’s remark that became the focal point of the outrage.

Comedian Sunil Pal has strongly condemned fellow comedian Samay Raina and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia for their alleged use of inappropriate language on the show India's Got Latent. In a recent interview, Pal asserted, "Calling them stand-up comedians would be an insult to real stand-up comedy. They are uninformed individuals who should be treated as a threat to society."

He further expressed concern over the influence such content has on young audiences, stating, "Our youth are striving to be responsible individuals from respectable backgrounds, yet these so-called comedians are given public platforms to spread vulgarity and offensive language. The irony is that these events are organized by well-educated people. Instead of delivering meaningful content, they are promoting obscenity."

Pal also criticized the misuse of freedom of speech, emphasizing, "Freedom of speech exists for everyone, but that does not give them the right to insult others. If they want to engage in such behavior, they should do so in private, not on public platforms like YouTube, where their content is accessible to all. Strict action must be taken against them. If they are not held accountable, future generations might believe that success can be achieved through offensive behavior."

YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, widely recognized as 'BeerBiceps,' has become embroiled in controversy following an inappropriate comment he made on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. The remark, which swiftly gained traction online, has triggered widespread backlash from netizens and even attracted criticism from political leaders.

The beginning
During the latest episode of India’s Got Latent, which featured content creators like Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija (The Rebel Kid), Ranveer Allahbadia posed a shocking question to a contestant, which was all things inappropriate. It hinted at incest and though it met with loud reactions from those present, didn't go down well with netizens.

Many users criticized the controversial remark in question for its crude nature and felt it was inappropriate. These users further questioned the general state of content creation in India. Some individuals, however, spoke in defense of the show’s format, arguing that it was meant to have an edgy tone, while others still insisted that content of this nature crosses ethical boundaries.

Political leaders react
"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, and if anyone crosses them, action will be taken," Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told reporters, according to NDTV.

The apology

Ranveer issued an apology on X - "My comment wasn't inappropriate; comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many asked, Is this how I used the platform? to which he stated, 'Obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened; I am just here for the apology. I personally had a lapse, and judgment wasn't cool on my path. The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don't want to be the person that takes that responsibility lightly, and family is the last thing that I would disrespect. Need to use this platform better; that's been my learning from this whole experience. I promised to just get better; I have asked the makers to remove the insensitive sections from the video, and all I can say in the end is, Sorry, I hope you can forgive me as a human being."
