Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy: What We Know So Far
The controversy began when YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as ‘Beer Biceps,’ appeared on the show India’s Got Latent along with comedian Samay Raina, influencer Apoorva Makhija, and others. During the episode, Allahbadia made a remark about a contestant’s parents, which led to outrage.
Several complaints have been filed against him in Mumbai and Assam, and the police are investigating. Allahbadia and Raina have been asked to cooperate with the probe, while Makhija and others involved in the show have also been named in the FIRs.
The issue has caught the attention of politicians. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis acknowledged the matter, stating that while freedom of speech exists, it should not infringe on others’ rights. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the FIRs against Allahbadia, YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani, comedian Jaspreet Singh, Makhija, Raina, and others.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for previously honoring Allahbadia with the ‘Disruptor of the Year’ award, suggesting more caution in choosing whom to promote.
Following the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, admitting his comment was inappropriate and unfunny. He stated that comedy is not his strength and that he had a lapse in judgment. In a video posted on X, he said he was not offering any justification—just an apology.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has announced plans to bring up the issue in Parliament and the Standing Committee for Communications and IT. She criticized the remark as offensive and said content creators should self-regulate. She accused them of deliberately making controversial statements for viral content and profit, warning that such behavior would have consequences.

Reports say the video has been removed from YouTube, possibly at the government’s request. Mumbai Police also visited Allahbadia’s home regarding the case, according to ANI.
