Ranveer Allahbadia Faces Backlash and Legal Trouble Over Controversial Remarks on YouTube Show
3 min read
In a shocking turn of events, popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, has found himself embroiled in a major controversy following his inappropriate and offensive remarks on Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India’s Got Latent. The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, led to formal complaints, and even drawn the attention of government authorities.
The Controversy: What Happened?
During a recent episode of India’s Got Latent, Allahbadia made a series of crude and offensive remarks that left viewers stunned. He asked a contestant about the “size of his p*” and even offered ₹2 crore if the contestant “sucked his d.” However, the most egregious comment came when Allahbadia posed a deeply inappropriate question: *“Would you watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or join in once and stop it forever?”*
The remarks, which were clearly intended as humor, backfired spectacularly, with viewers and social media users condemning the content as disrespectful, vulgar, and entirely out of line.
Public Outrage and Legal Action
The backlash was swift and severe. Social media platforms were flooded with criticism, with many users expressing their disappointment and anger. Formal complaints were filed against Allahbadia, prompting government intervention. The controversy has raised questions about the responsibility of content creators, especially those with large followings, to maintain decorum and respect cultural sensitivities.
Allahbadia’s Apology: Too Little, Too Late?
Facing mounting pressure, Ranveer Allahbadia issued a public apology in a video posted on his social media channels. In the video, he admitted to a “lapse in judgment” and acknowledged that his comments were inappropriate and unfunny.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry,” he said.
Allahbadia also emphasized the importance of accountability, stating, “I personally had a lapse of judgment, wasn’t cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages, and I don’t want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly. Family is the last thing I would ever disrespect.”
He further promised to have the offensive sections of the episode removed and vowed to use his platform more responsibly in the future.

Social Media Reacts: Forgiveness in Short Supply
Despite his apology, the internet remains largely unforgiving. Many users expressed their disappointment, with some calling out the hypocrisy of Allahbadia, who is also known for his spirituality-focused content.
One user commented, “If these are the words you’re using for parents, then sorry, bro—you’ve failed. Just remove all those spirituality videos as well. No respect for you.”
Another user added, “I just hope that no spiritual saints, celebrities, or politicians with clean reputations ever come to your show after knowing your darker side, which was on full display in the name of humor.”
The Bigger Picture: Responsibility of Influencers
This incident has reignited the debate about the responsibility of influencers and content creators in India. With millions of followers, creators like Allahbadia wield significant influence, particularly over younger audiences. The controversy serves as a stark reminder that with fame and power comes the responsibility to uphold ethical standards and cultural values.
What’s Next for Ranveer Allahbadia?
While Allahbadia has apologized and promised to do better, the damage to his reputation may be lasting. The legal implications of the complaints filed against him remain to be seen, and it is unclear how this incident will impact his career moving forward.
For now, the internet’s verdict is clear: forgiveness may be possible, but forgetting is another matter entirely.
