Following Ranveer Allahbadia’s India’s Got Latent controversy earlier this year, several Bollywood stars claimed that they had rejected invitations to appear on his show. However, Allahbadia has now revealed a lot of those celebrities were not even invited by his team. In a recent interview, Ranveer, also known as The Beer Biceps, discussed the aftermath of the controversy and admitted that he was “upset and angry” with such claims made by actors.
“It was a feeding frenzy. Some celebrities claimed that they’d even rejected an invite to the show. The truth is that we never invited them in the first place. In such situations, I felt angry at human beings in general. But I realised that the predicament that I was in was a result of my own actions,” Ranveer told Prafful Garg.
“I couldn’t change the past, but I could change the future. I got a forced break after a crazy, intense six-year podcasting journey. I’m just trying to move on; I’ve tried to forgive a lot of people, even myself, and to a degree, I’ve been successful,” the podcaster added.
What Was India’s Got Latent Controversy?
Earlier this year, Allahbadia was embroiled in controversy after an episode of India’s Got Latent, where he posed an offensive question to a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?” Though the panel, including Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani, laughed off the comment, it triggered massive backlash online and led to multiple FIRs against Ranveer and the show’s makers.
The controversy escalated when the National Commission for Women (NCW) stepped in, and Ranveer was forced to submit a written apology. The Supreme Court later granted him interim protection from arrest but called his remarks “vulgar” and accused him of having a “dirty mind” that shamed society.
However, Ranveer recently made his comeback and re-started his podcasts. Actors like Boman Irani, Shruti Haasan and Tara Sutaria have appeared on his show as guests.
