Hindustan Times Pune
|February 11, 2025
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on Monday issued an apology for his "inappropriate" remarks made during an episode of an online show, India's got Latent, as several politicians, including Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, called for a ban on the show and accused him of exploiting freedom of speech.
NEW DELHI: An FIR was registered against the influencer in Assam.
A formal complaint was filed against Allahbadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the organisers of the show after alleged offensive remarks.
In an apology video on X on Monday, Allahbadia admitted that his comment was not only inappropriate, but also not funny. "Comedy is not my forte. Just here to say sorry," the YouTuber, popularly known as BeerBiceps, said.
