Ranveer Allahbadia Row: Old Joke About Jail Resurfaces Amid India’s Got Latent Controversy
A past remark by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, has resurfaced amid the controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent. In the old clip, Ranveer joked that his sense of humor could land him in jail. Now, with the backlash over his comments on the show, people are bringing up his words again.
What Did Ranveer Say in the Viral Clip?
The video is from one of Ranveer’s podcast episodes featuring Emmy-winning comedian Vir Das. During their chat, Ranveer admitted that while he never struggled to gain an audience, he did struggle with being funnier. He even said, “That’s why I ask people like you and Zakir Khan for advice.”
Vir Das responded by saying that humor comes from life experiences and surroundings. At this point, Ranveer made his now-famous statement: “If I really expose my sense of humor, I would go to jail.”
Why Is This Statement Trending Now?
Ranveer’s old joke is going viral now because of the controversy surrounding his remarks on India’s Got Latent, a show known for its bold and dark humor. A clip from the show, where Ranveer made an inappropriate “Would you rather watch your parents have sex?” joke, sparked outrage. Many viewers found it offensive, leading to multiple complaints and even FIRs against him.
Legal Trouble and Apology
As criticism grew, Ranveer issued a public apology, calling his joke a mistake in judgment. However, many people on social media weren’t convinced and continued to slam him. The situation escalated so much that he had to seek legal protection. The Supreme Court granted him interim bail, but he is currently restricted from leaving the country.
Industry Reactions
While some people in the entertainment industry support Ranveer, others believe that comedy should have limits, especially in a public space. Celebrities like comedian Munawar Faruqui, music composer Vishal Dadlani, social media influencer Uorfi Javed, and actress Rakhi Sawant have also shared their opinions on the matter.
The controversy continues to spark debate about the fine line between comedy and offensive content.
