Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, has apologized after making offensive comments on Samay Raina’s show, ‘India’s Got Latent’. His remarks sparked outrage, leading to formal complaints and widespread criticism.
During the episode, Allahbadia shocked viewers by asking an inappropriate question about a contestant’s private parts. He even made an offensive offer involving a large sum of money. But what truly pushed the controversy further was a disturbing question, borrowed from another YouTube show:
“Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or join in once to stop it forever?”
This statement did not sit well with the audience, triggering an instant backlash online.

After facing massive criticism, Allahbadia issued a public apology.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate—it wasn’t even funny. Comedy isn’t my strength. I am here to say sorry,” he admitted.
Addressing the outrage, he continued, “Many of you have questioned if this is how I want to use my platform, and the answer is no. I won’t give any excuses or justifications—I am simply here to apologize.”
Learning From the Mistake
The 31-year-old influencer admitted that he made a poor judgment call and is taking responsibility for his actions.
“The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don’t want to take that responsibility lightly. Family is something I deeply respect, and I regret making such an insensitive remark,” he said.
He also emphasized the importance of using his platform more responsibly:
“I’ve asked the makers to remove the offensive sections from the video. My biggest takeaway from this experience is that I need to do better. All I can say is—I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”
Allahbadia later posted on X (formerly Twitter), simply stating:
“I shouldn’t have said what I said on ‘India’s Got Latent.’ I’m sorry.”
Internet Reacts: Forgiveness Seems Unlikely
Despite his public apology, the internet isn’t ready to let this go. Many believe his comments were beyond redemption, with social media flooded with strong reactions.
One user wrote:
“There’s no coming back from this. Your question on the show says everything about your mindset.”
Another added:
“You’ve lost our respect. If these are the kind of things you say about parents, then sorry bro, you’ve failed.”
Some even questioned his spiritual and motivational content, calling him a hypocrite:
“Just remove all those spirituality videos too. No respect for you.”
Others stressed the importance of responsibility when given a platform:
“With fame and power comes greater responsibility, which you misused. I hope you develop a better sense of judgment in the future.”
As the backlash continues, it remains to be seen whether Allahbadia can rebuild his reputation—or if this controversy will define him moving forward.
