YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia took to X to upload a video in which he apologised for his ‘insensitive’ comments made on India’s Got Latent. On the show, he had asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have s*x every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever.” He faced a lot of backlash for it. A formal complaint was also filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, influencer Apoorva Makhija, and the organisers of India’s Got Latent.
The caption of the Ranveer's apology video read, “I shouldn't have said what I said on India's got latent. I'm sorry.” In the video, he said, “My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry.”
Ranveer also said that he had been flooded with questions asking if he planned to use his platform in this way. “Obviously this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgement. It wasn't cool on my part,” he stated.
He went on to say, “The podcast is watched by people of all ages, I don't want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly and family is the last thing I would ever disrespect.”
He also said that he has asked the makers to edit his ‘insensitive’ bits from the show. “I promise to just get better. I have asked the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video and all I can say in the end is I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me as a human being,” he said.
Ranveer has 4.5 million followers on Instagram and 1.05 crore YouTube subscribers.
