What is the controversy around Ranveer Allahbadia?
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, has recently landed in controversy over remarks made on the YouTube show India’s Got Latent.
During a recent episode, he allegedly asked a contestant an inappropriate question involving body parts and suggested an indecent act in exchange for ₹2 crore. The backlash further escalated when he posed a controversial question: “Would you watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join once to stop it forever?”
FIR Filed Against Ranveer Allahbadia
Following the incident, a police complaint was lodged against Ranveer Allahbadia, along with co-judges Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija. The FIR accuses them of promoting obscene and sexually explicit content on the show, invoking multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Critics slammed it as vulgar, leading to legal action.
Amid mounting criticism, Ranveer issued a public apology through a video statement, admitting his mistake. He stated, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I wish to use my platform and obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context, justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology.”
