I had a lapse of judgment, here just for an apology: influencer ranveer allahbadia about controversial comments

Influencer Ranveer Allahbadia has apologized for her controversial remark, which led to many calls for a ban on his podcast. Several politicians, including Maharashtra chief minister Devera Fadnavis and opposition leaders in the state, criticized him for exploiting freedom of speech.

Allahbadia – which has over 6,00,000 followers of X, 4.5 million on Instagram and 10.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel – became one of the trending topics on social media after his comment on Samay Rauba’s YouTube reality show ” India’s got latent ”got traction.

At Comedy Reality Series, popular among today’s youth for its cluttered boundaries of offensive content, Allahbadia asked a question to a participant about parents and sex, which has been panned by many and led to a BJP clerk, judges and participants in the show.

In an excuse video of X on Monday, Allahbadia admitted that his comment was not only inappropriate, but not fun either.

“Comedy is not my forte. Right here to say sorry, ”YouTuber said, popularly known as Beerbiceps, in the video.

“Many of you asked if this is how I want to use my platform. Obviously, that’s not how I want to use my platform. I will not give any context, justification or resonance behind what happened. I’m right here for an apology. Personally, I had a lapse of judgment. It wasn’t cool on my part. “

The social media influencer who has been criticized for giving a bad example for the young people who are his primary audience said he does not want to be the kind of person who takes responsibility easily.

“Family is the last thing I would ever respect. Need to use this platform better and it has been my learning of this whole experience. I just promise to get better. Have asked the manufacturers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video and everything I can say is upset in the end. I hope you can forgive me as a human being, ”he said.

Maharashtra cm Fadnavis said that even though he has not seen that clip, he warned people about the boundaries of freedom of speech.

“Everyone has freedom of speech, but our freedom ends when we intervene in the freedom of others … In our society we have made some rules, it is completely wrong if someone offends them. Action must be taken against them, ”Fadnavis told journalists in Mumbai on Monday.

Writer-storyteller Neelesh Misra shared the controversial clip from the show on his X-Side, with his caption started with: “Meet the perverse creators who shape our country’s creative economy.”

An official from the National Commission for Women (NCW) said they were looking at the matter.

Allahbadia was one of the online content creators who received a National Creator’s Award from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an event in New Delhi last year. Previously, the podcaster with Digital India Corporation collaborated to interview a number of cabinet ministers.

With reference to Raina’s show, Misra said this content is not designated as adult content.

“It can be seen easily, even by a child if the algorithm takes him or her there. The creators or platform have zero responsibility … Banal, krass, insensitive are words only for boring unkilled people. These creators can say something in the name of freedom of speech and get rid of it, ”he wrote further.

Sharing Misra’s post said Congress spokesman SPRIYA SHRINATE: “This is not creative. It’s perverse. And we cannot normalize pervert’s behavior as cool. The fact that this sick comment met high applause must worry all of us. “

Shiv Sena leader Raju Waghmare said that using such a language in the state of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was unacceptable.

“We warn him. We should not abuse the right to freedom of expression. Shiv Sena doesn’t tolerate it, ”Waghmare told PTI.

A user of X said Allahbadia does not deserve to be “respected and followed”.

“Then follows will be a msg for him. Pls take a social act against the bad social star. Spread it. #Beerbiceps. “

Another said she has unsubscribed both Allahbadia and Raina.

One said that influences like Raina and Allahabadia negatively affect youth and distorts India’s cultural values.

“Let’s promote content that respects our inheritance. #Beerbiceps #ranveerallahbadia l #indiasgotlatent, ”she said.
