Recently, YouTuber and content creator Ranveer Allahbadia (better known as Beer Biceps) found himself at the center of a storm after making a shocking comment on India’s Got Latent hosted by Samay Raina. What started as a casual question on the show quickly turned into a major controversy, leading to an apology from Ranveer. While the internet is divided on his apology, many are still angry over the insensitive remark.
The Shocking Comment That Sparked Backlash
It all began when Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant on the show, India’s Got Latent, a disturbing question:
“Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
This inappropriate and disrespectful question sparked immediate outrage on social media. People called out Ranveer for showing a lack of respect toward family values and decency. The uncomfortable silence on the show only intensified the criticism from viewers.
Ranveer’s Apology: “It Was a Lapse in Judgment”
In the wake of the backlash, Ranveer took to his social media platforms to offer a public apology. In a heartfelt video, he admitted:
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte, just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I want to use my platform. No, this is not how I will use it. I’m not here to give any context or justification. I’m just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in my judgment, it wasn’t cool on my part.”
While this was a step towards owning up to his mistake, many social media users remained skeptical of his true intentions.
Netizens Respond: “Apology or Damage Control?”
Despite Ranveer’s apology, the response from netizens was largely negative. Here’s what people had to say:
- “You have already disrespected family! Ever going to trust whatever you have said and going to say on your podcast? No point in apologizing if the pattern keeps repeating. Integrity is about consistency, not just damage control.”
- “Translation: sorry what I said hurts my business, please keep watching my videos.”
Many felt that Ranveer’s apology was more about protecting his career than genuinely taking accountability for his actions.
A Bigger Issue: The ‘Celebrity Apology’ Trend
This incident also raises questions about the celebrity apology trend. Many fans argue that public figures often make controversial comments, only to apologize when their careers or public image are at stake. This has led to some cynicism around the sincerity of such apologies.
“This is the celebrity pattern these days, they do anything and then say sorry. Most of the time, it’s not that they feel sorry, they apologize because it’s business, their careers are at stake.”

The Impact on the Show and Its Creators
Besides Ranveer, Apoorva Makhija (known as Rebel Kid or Kaleshi Aurat) also received heavy criticism for her comments during the show. Fans are now questioning the nature of humor on India’s Got Latent and calling for more accountability from the creators and participants.
- Several users have even called for legal action against Ranveer and others involved, arguing that such behavior shouldn’t be excused.
“No apology is acceptable. Strict punishment is required @MumbaiPolice @Dev_Fadnavis ji, please take action against him and set an example for others!”
What’s Next for Ranveer Allahbadia?
So, where does this leave Ranveer Allahbadia? While his apology may have been a step in the right direction, it may not be enough to rebuild his damaged reputation. The question now is: Will he truly learn from this experience and adjust his behavior going forward?
- Will his career recover?
- Can he regain the trust of his audience?
Only time will tell.
Conclusion: Can Apologies Ever Be Enough?
The controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia raises a critical question: Can a public apology ever truly fix the damage caused by thoughtless words or actions?
In the world of social media, public figures must be more careful with their words. While apologies are a necessary step, they are often seen as damage control rather than genuine remorse.
For now, we’ll wait and see whether Ranveer’s future actions will demonstrate that he has learned from this mistake, or if the apology is just another part of the celebrity pattern of “say sorry and move on”.
