MUMBAI: Content creator Ranveer Allahbadia, known online as BeerBiceps, has drawn significant backlash and potential legal consequences for inappropriate comments made during his appearance on ‘India’s Got Latent‘ show.
The controversy emerged when he directed an unsuitable question with sexual connotation about parents to a participant on the show. The remarks triggered widespread condemnation on social media platforms, with users expressing strong disapproval.
Khar police are examining a written complaint, though no FIR had been filed in Mumbai at the time of filing of this report. DCP (Zone IX) Dikshit Gedam confirmed that a probe is on.
Police officials who visited the show’s recording location at Habitat building, Khar, found it empty as the shooting had concluded.
Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “I have come to know about it.Things have been said and presented in a wrong way. Everyone has freedom of speech, but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others. In our society, we’ve made some rules, and if someone violates them, it is absolutely wrong.”
Following public outcry, Ranveer Allahbadia posted an apology video on X, saying, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy isn’t my forte. I am just going to say sorry.”
He added, “I am not going to give any context or justification, just want to give my apology. Had a lapse in my judgment. the podcast is watched by people of all age groups and don’t want to take that responsibility lightly. Family is the last thing I would disrespect.”
