Ranveer Allahbadia’s Emotional Outburst: India’s Got Talent Drama?
3 min read
New Delhi: A viral video of popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, has been making rounds on social media, with claims that he is regretting his actions following his controversial remarks on the talent show India’s Got Latent. However, the reality behind the clip tells a completely different story.
Breaking Down the Viral Video
The widely circulated video shows Ranveer Allahbadia in an emotional state, wearing a white T-shirt, expressing regret and saying, “Mujhe isliye bura lag raha hai kyunki sab kaam band ho gaya (I feel bad because all the work has stopped) b**d. I just feel guilty. Poori team ko aise expose kar diya. Meri wajah se poora kaam band ho gaya hai (I exposed the entire team. Because of me, all the work has stopped).”*
Many users on social media have claimed that this is his confession after the backlash over his inappropriate joke on India’s Got Latent. However, a fact-check reveals that the clip is being shared with misleading context.
Watch the video below:
The Truth Behind the Video
The reality is that this video is not recent at all. It dates back to the second wave of COVID-19, nearly three years ago. Originally, Ranveer himself had uploaded the video during the pandemic, documenting his experience after testing positive for COVID-19.
In the full version of the video, Ranveer is seen taking a COVID-19 test and announcing, “Hi guys, I just tested positive for COVID.” The portion currently being shared is an out-of-context excerpt from that old footage, falsely suggesting it is linked to the ongoing controversy.
The India’s Got Latent Controversy Explained
The controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia erupted when he appeared as a guest panelist on India’s Got Latent and made a highly controversial remark that quickly sparked outrage across social media, with many calling it vulgar and offensive. The backlash quickly escalated as:
- The Maharashtra Cyber Cell registered a case against the show.
- The Guwahati Crime Branch filed an FIR against multiple influencers and creators associated with the program on charges of obscenity and disrespecting women’s dignity.
- The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned Ranveer’s remarks as “abhorrent” and “disrespectful.” The association even demanded a ban on the show and urged actors and filmmakers to sever ties with it.
Influencers such as Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, and host Samay Raina were also named in the investigation and are currently being questioned by authorities.
Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina Respond
Amid the mounting criticism, Ranveer Allahbadia issued a public apology, admitting that his joke was inappropriate.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry,” he stated in a video. He also clarified, “Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect.”
Meanwhile, show host Samay Raina announced on social media that he had deleted all videos related to the show from YouTube and assured his full cooperation with the authorities.
Final Verdict
While the outrage over India’s Got Latent and Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks is real, the viral crying video has no connection to the controversy. It is an old video from the COVID-19 era, now being misleadingly used to spread a false narrative.
As misinformation spreads rapidly on social media, it is always crucial to verify the authenticity of viral content before believing or sharing it.
