Ranveer Allahbadia controversy: YouTube urged to take down 'watch your parents having sex' clip from India's Got Latent

Ranveer Allahabadia Controversy: Human rights panel takes note of Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia's obscene joke and asks YouTube to take down videos.

Allahbadia, known for the BeerBiceps podcast, is facing heavy trolling and backlash after a video went viral from Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent, where he asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or would you join in once and stop it forever?”

His statement drew criticism from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

“I have come to know about it. I have not seen it yet. Things have been said and presented in a wrong way. Everyone has freedom of speech, but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others. In our society, we have made some rules, if someone violates them, it is absolutely wrong, and action should be taken against them,” Fadnavis said.

Allahbadia apologised in a video message and said “Comedy is not his forte. Many of you asked if this is how I wish to use my platform and, obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I'm not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened.”

Ranveer said he “personally had a lapse in judgment. It wasn't cool on my part.”

“The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don't want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly and family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect,” he added.

He continued, “I need to use this platform better, that's been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to just get better. I've asked the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video and all I can say to the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video and all I can say in the end is I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”
