Ranveer Allahbadia controversy
Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, aka Beerbiceps, made a comment about incest in one of the episodes of India’s Got Latent that featured Ashish, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and others.
During an interaction with a contestant on India’s Got Latent, Ranveer asked, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop?” The remark sparked outrage, quickly going viral on social media, with netizens calling him out for his inappropriate comments.

On Wednesday, the Mumbai police recorded statements from seven persons, including Ashish.
ANI reported that the Assam Police has issued fresh summons to Ashish, Ranveer, Apoorva, Jaspreet Singh, and others based on a complaint that they are promoting obscenity.
What Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia said
After receiving flak for the joke and the controversy that followed, Ranveer apologised for his remarks and called it a ‘lack of judgment’ on his part. “I don't want to be the kind of person who takes that responsibility lightly. Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect. I need to use this platform better,” he said in a video he posted.
Meanwhile, Samay Raina too broke his silence on the controversy on Wednesday and stated that he has deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes from YouTube. “My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly,” he wrote on social media.
