The controversy erupted after his appearance on comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India’s Got Latent. During the episode, Ranveer made a provocative comment about parents and sex, which sparked widespread outrage.
Ranveer’s response
Amid the backlash, Ranveer issued a statement. He expressed regret, acknowledging that his remark was insensitive and disrespectful3. He assured that he and his team were cooperating with the police and other authorities. Despite receiving death threats and facing harassment, Ranveer emphasized that he was not running away and had faith in the Indian judicial system.
The public reaction has been intense. People have invaded Ranveer’s mother’s clinic, posing as patients, and he has been receiving numerous death threats. The controversy has led to multiple FIRs being filed against him in Mumbai and Assam.
Apoorva Mukhija’s Fallout
Another guest on the show, Apoorva Mukhija, also known as The Rebel Kid, has faced significant consequences. Apoorva was initially named as one of the official ambassadors for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards. However, due to the controversy, she has been removed from the list. The decision was announced by Diya Kumari, tourism minister and deputy chief minister of Rajasthan.
Samay Raina, the host of the show, has also been summoned for questioning by the police. He has since deleted all episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel and expressed his intention to cooperate with the authorities.
The controversy has raised questions about the responsibility of content creators and the impact of their words on the public. It has also highlighted the need for sensitivity and respect in public discourse.
The Ranveer Allahbadia controversy serves as a stark reminder of the power of words and the importance of responsible communication. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen how the involved parties will navigate the legal and public fallout.
