The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, made a controversial remark during an episode of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. The comment, which was deemed inappropriate and offensive, quickly went viral on social media. In response, Ranveer posted an apology video on his Instagram account.

This is not how I wish to use my platform. Am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here to apologise. I personally had a lapse in judgement. It was not cool on my part.” In the video, Ranveer was seen crying and expressing his regret, saying, “This is the reason I feel bad because all of the work has come to a stop (expletive). I just feel damn guilty. I have exposed the whole team to this. Because of me, the whole work has stopped.”
