Responding to comments over “misuse” of his platform he said that this is not what he intends to do. “I’m not going to give any justification or comment on what happened, I am here just to apologize.

Complaint against Ranveer Allahbadia, over “obscene remarks”
A complaint was filed against YouTubers Beer Biceps, aka Ranveer Allahbadia, ‘Rebel Kid’ aka Apoorva Mukhija and comedian Samay Raina in Mumbai over the alleged use of abusive language on the show India’s Got Latent.
Allahbadia, who has over 3 million followers on Instagram and boasts over one crore followers on YouTube, has hosted high-profile guests like actress Priyanka Chopra, singer Karan Aujla, and ISRO Chairman Dr S Somanath, is now facing huge backlash for his comments made on Raina’s show.
The complaint has been filed with the Mumbai police commissioner and Maharashtra Women’s Commission. The organisers of the show have also been booked along with the content creators, news agency ANI reported.
During a recent episode, which featured content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija (known as The Rebel Kid), Ranveer Allahbadia posed a highly controversial question to a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
The remarks from the content creators on the show have gone viral and causing a stir. While some viewed the show as a light-hearted comedy, others criticised the creators for their controversial jokes, ultimately leading to legal trouble.
