Ranveer Allahbadia apologises after viral video
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Allahbadia wrote “I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s got latent. I’m sorry.” He also shared a video, saying “My comment wasn’t appropriate. It wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte”.
He further added “I’m just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I wished to use my platform and 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’m just here for an apology.”
“I personally had a lapse in judgement. I wasn’t cool on my part. The podcast was watched by people of all ages. Don’t want to be the kind of person that takes responsibility lightly and family is the last thing I would ever disrespect.”
He further added “Need to use this platform better. That’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to just get better. Have asked the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video.”
“All I can say in the end is sorry. Hope you forgive me as a human being,” he reiterated.
What is Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversy
During the episode, Ranveer asked a contestant a controversial question: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day or join them to finish it once and for all?”.
The remark drew cheers and laughter from the panel, including host Samay Raina, but left viewers outraged. Many criticized the comment as offensive and inappropriate, leading to a wave of backlash online.
The controversy has since become a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter), with users condemning Ranveer’s comments while also poking fun at the situation through memes. Some memes sarcastically compared Ranveer’s behavior to his usual motivational persona on BeerBiceps, while others also called for tighter regulation of online shows like India’s Got Latent, arguing that the lack of boundaries in the name of humor is becoming problematic.
