In the video, he apologized while reflecting on his struggles and said, “Saare supporters, saare well-wishers ko thank you. Aapke positive messages ne mujhe aur mere pariwar ko bahut zyada help kiya kyunki yeh phase bahut zyada mushkil tha. Khule aam aise violent threats, itna social media hatred, itne saare media articles. Itna kuch dekha aur uss sab ke beech aapke DMs ne hume bahut support kiya (To all my supporters and well-wishers, thank you. Your positive messages helped me and my family a lot because this phase was extremely difficult. Facing open threats, so much social media hatred, and so many media articles—it was overwhelming. But amidst all that, your messages supported us)."
He added, "Zindagi ke low samay main aapko pata lagta hai ki sirf safalta aapke saath nahi chalegi. Aapko failure ka bhi samna karna padega. Itne saare log mujhe beta maante hain, itne saare log mujhe bhai maante hain, mainly un logon ko sorry (In life's low moments, you realise that success alone won’t always be with you; you have to face failure too. So many people consider me their son, so many see me as their brother—to them, I sincerely apologise)."

He vowed to create content with greater responsibility and stated, "I promise that as long as I create content for the next 20-30 years, I will do it more responsibly. I've understood that I have a huge responsibility on my shoulders. The fact that you all consider me a member of your family is the biggest responsibility. Ho sake toh aapne dil mein mere liye jagah firse banana (If possible, please make space for me in your hearts again)."
Ranveer Allahbadia's India’s Got Latent controversy
Ranveer Allahbadia faced severe backlash for his controversial comments about parents and sex on Samay Raina's show, India's Got Latent. Despite issuing an apology, multiple complaints were lodged against him, leading to a ban on his online content creation and video postings. The Supreme Court condemned his remarks as "vulgar" and criticized him for having a "dirty mind" that tarnished societal values. Recently, however, the court lifted the ban on his podcast, allowing him to resume his work, with the condition that he avoid discussing the case in his videos.
Along with Ranveer Allahbadia, comedians Samay Raina and Apoorva Mukhija also faced backlash for their comments. Samay Raina was summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell to attend proceedings regarding the India’s Got Latent controversy. The cyber cell has asked him to appear for questioning on March 27 or 28 in connection with the controversial statements made by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia on the show.
