YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia created quite a storm on social media with his comment during his guest appearance on India's Got Latent. Turns out the controversial remark has been on the internet for years. We had earlier reported that Allahbadia's comment was not his own but copied from a show called OG Crew. Now, internet has dug up an old clip of Indian comedian Kanan Gill making a similar comment on a show way back in 2015.

In the video, Kanan said, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it?" At this, both Jackky and Lauren started laughing. The video ended with Kanan saying, "You have to answer it, guys."

Interestingly, while the comment had gone unnoticed till now, Allahbadia's same question lead to upraor and police complaint against him and others who featured on Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent. Raina, the show's host, deleted all episodes of the show from YouTube after the backlash.
