In a recent episode of “India’s Got Latent,” hosted by comedian Samay Raina, guest Ranveer Allahbadia, who is also known as BeerBiceps, made a comment that caused a lot of controversy. Many viewers were upset by what he said. Allahbadia asked a contestant a question that people found inappropriate and offensive. He talked about a hypothetical situation where someone sees their parents in an intimate moment. This question was seen as crossing the line of what is considered acceptable humor, which led to a lot of backlash from the audience.

After the episode aired, people reacted quickly and strongly. Critics accused Allahbadia and Raina of promoting inappropriate behavior and disrespecting social norms. The situation got so serious that a police report, known as an FIR, was filed against them and others involved, alleging they promoted unsuitable content. Facing the criticism, Allahbadia publicly apologized, admitting he made a mistake and expressing regret for his comments. He acknowledged that his attempt at humor was wrong and not funny, admitting that jokes aren’t his strength. The controversial episode was also taken down from YouTube by government order, as confirmed by Kanchan Gupta, a Senior Advisor at the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.
