Fact Check: Is ranveer Allahbadia Crying Over India’s Got Latent Controversy? The Truth Behind The Viral video
A video of Ranveer Allahbadia, known online as BeerBiceps, has recently gone viral. It shows the YouTuber appearing emotional while saying, “Mujhe isliye bura lag raha hai kyunki sab kaam band ho gaya (I feel bad because all the work has stopped) b*d. I just feel guilty. Poori team ko aise expose kar diya. Meri wajah se poora kaam band ho gaya hai (I exposed the entire team. As of me, all the work has stopped).”
This clip has been circulating with claims that Ranveer is expressing regret over controversial remarks he made on the talent show India’s Got Talent. However, this interpretation is misleading. the video is not recent but originates from the COVID-19 lockdown period, nearly three years ago.
The original video, uploaded during the second wave of COVID-19, shows Ranveer announcing his positive COVID-19 test result. The viral clip is simply an out-of-context excerpt, deceptively suggesting a connection to the current controversy.
India’s Got Talent Controversy
The controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia stems from his appearance on India’s Got Talent, where he made a joke widely perceived as vulgar and inappropriate. His remark, “would you watch your parents have s every day of your life or would you join in once,” sparked immediate backlash.
This sparked a swift response: the Maharashtra Cyber Cell registered a case against the show, and the Guwahati Crime Branch filed an FIR against several influencers, including Ranveer Allahbadia, host Samay Raina, and others, on charges related to obscenity and the protection of women’s dignity.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks as “abhorrent” and “disrespectful,” calling for a ban on the show and urging actors and filmmakers to sever ties with it.
Responses from Allahbadia and Raina
Following the outcry, Ranveer Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging the inappropriateness of his joke. He stated in a video, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry.” He also emphasized, “Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect.”
This incident serves as a reminder of the power and responsibility that comes with online platforms. Words,even intended as humor,can have profound and unintended consequences. It highlights the importance of careful consideration, empathy, and a commitment to respectful interaction in the digital age.
Following Ranveer Allahbadia’s recent controversy surrounding his “joke” on India’s Got Talent, satire expert and comedian Akash Pandya joins Archyde to discuss the fine line between humor and harm, the evolving landscape of comedy in the age of social media, and the importance of responsible expression online.
It’s a tightrope walk, definitely. The key is to be mindful of your audience and the context of your jokes. Humor is subjective, what one person finds funny another might find offensive. My goal is always to provoke thought and conversation, but I strive to do so in a way that is both insightful and respectful. Sometimes that means stepping back from a joke, even if it’s tempting because it’s edgy.
The internet has become a double-edged sword for comedians. It provides a platform for instant global reach, but also amplifies criticism and backlash. How has this changed the landscape for satire and comedy?
it’s a mixed bag. On the one hand, the internet has democratized comedy, giving a voice to comedians who might not have otherwise had a platform. But at the same time, it’s created a culture of instant judgment and outrage. A single joke can go viral for all the wrong reasons, and the consequences can be severe.
In light of Ranveer Allahbadia’s recent controversy, do you think there are certain lines that comedians should never cross, regardless of the platform or intent?
I think it’s vital for comedians to be aware of the potential impact of their words. There are some topics that are inherently sensitive,and it’s important to approach them with caution and empathy. Ultimately, each comedian has to decide where they draw the line, but I believe in the power of responsible humor that challenges and provokes, but doesn’t seek to intentionally harm or demean.
Be authentic, be original, be kind.Develop your own voice and perspective, don’t try to be someone you’re not. listen to feedback, but don’t let criticism silence you. And most importantly,remember that words have power. Use them wisely.
