For those who do not know, Ranveer Allahabadia, whose popular BeerBiceps YouTube channel has a large following, hit the headlines following his appearance on India‘s Got Latent last month. While performing on the show, he raised a sensitive question with one young contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever? ” The statement received extensive backlash, and the statement was found to be outrageous by many. Following intervention by the I&B Ministry and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the video was taken down from YouTube.
Subsequently, Samay responded to the controversy on X, saying, “All that is happening has been too much for me to cope with. I have taken down all India‘s Got Latent videos from my channel. My sole intention was to entertain people and enjoy themselves. I will cooperate with all agencies in full so that their questions are completed fairly. Thank you.”
