YouTuber and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, is once again under fire—this time for allegedly failing to cooperate with the Maharashtra Cyber Cell in its ongoing investigation into the controversial show India’s Got Latent. According to a report by India TV, the Cyber Cell had summoned Ranveer along with fellow creators Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija for questioning. While Samay and Ashish appeared for the probe, Ranveer and Apoorva reportedly did not respond, prompting authorities to consider legal action for non-cooperation.
Amidst the growing backlash, Apoorva Mukhija recently opened up about the emotional toll the controversy has taken on her. She revealed that she received rape and death threats and began suffering from sleep paralysis due to the stress and fear, adding that support from close friends helped her cope with the trauma. Meanwhile, Ranveer attempted to address the issue in a recent video titled “Dear India”, where he acknowledged the criticism and promised to improve the quality of his content by focusing on topics like India’s history and personal growth. He asked the public for “another chance,” but with potential legal consequences looming, his comeback may be far from smooth.
The controversy was triggered by a now-viral clip from India’s Got Latent, where Ranveer asked a contestant a vulgar and deeply inappropriate question: “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?” Although other panelists, including Ashish and Apoorva, were seen laughing at the moment, public outrage was immediate. Several FIRs were filed across the country, the National Commission for Women condemned the video, and even the Supreme Court weighed in, labeling Ranveer’s remark as “vulgar” and indicative of a “dirty mind.” While Ranveer was granted interim protection from arrest, the court ordered him to submit a written apology. As investigations continue and public sentiment remains charged, the episode has significantly tarnished the public image of one of India’s most prominent digital creators.
