YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia has been facing a number of heat over his controversial remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s roast show ‘India’s Got Latent’. During his appearance on the show, Ranveer, also referred to as ‘BeerBiceps’ asked a contestant: “Would you slightly watch your parents have sex each day for the remaining of your life or take part once and stop it eternally?” Amid nationwide outrage over his remarks, star India batter Virat Kohli has unfollowed Ranveer on Instagram. Few years back, Ranveer had clicked an image with Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma at an event.
Screenshots of Kohli’s following list have gone viral on social media.

As per reports, Ranveer has lost over 8,000 followers on social media.
Ranveer is ready to look before police in a few days to record his statement as an FIR has been filed against him, Samay, Apoorva Makhija, Ashish Chachlani and the producers of ‘India’s Got Latent’.
Each Ranveer and Samay have issued their apologies, while the episode has been taken down on YouTube. In truth, India’s Got Latent have deleted all of the episodes from their channel.
Amid backlash, Ranveer has tried to defuse the situation by issuing a video apology where he called his comment a “lapse in judgement” and that “comedy will not be his forte”.
The row has also triggered a large debate on freedom of speech and what constitutes decency.
The cyber police, which have registered a First Information Report within the case, issued notices on Tuesday to the social media influencer and others including “guests” and “judges” who had participated previously episodes of ‘India’s Got Latent’, an official said on Wednesday.
Samay Raina, however, said his only “objective was to make people laugh and have a great time”.
“Every thing that is occurring has been an excessive amount of for me to handle. I even have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a great time. I’ll fully cooperate with all agencies to make sure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thanks,” Mr Raina posted on X.
