Ranveer Allahbadia’s co-star, Samay Raina finally stepped onto a stage again—this time in Canada, far from the chaos that erupted back home. His first words? “Thanks for paying my lawyer’s fees.”
The weight of the controversy was all over him. Fan Shubham Dutt described seeing a “mentally exhausted” 25-year-old with sunken eyes, wearing a dust-covered hoodie, stepping onto the stage. Before he even started his set, he stood there, visibly emotional, as nearly 700 people erupted in cheers.
This wasn’t just another comedy gig. This was a comeback attempt after India’s Got Latent got wiped from the internet.

The Ranveer Allahbadia controversy: How one disturbing question triggered FIRs across India



Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, asked a contestant on India’s Got Latent a question so outrageous that it got him in legal trouble.
“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?”
The backlash was instant. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis slammed him. FIRs were filed in Assam and Mumbai. The internet turned on him. Even celebrities jumped in—some to condemn, others to defend.
To control the damage, Ranveer Allahbadia publicly apologized. But for many, the apology wasn’t enough. Samay Raina, the host of India’s Got Latent, erased all episodes from YouTube.

WWE star Saurav Gurjar’s direct threat to Ranveer Allahbadia: "I will not spare him”


This took a wild turn when former WWE wrestler Saurav Gurjar, aka Sanga, jumped in. Not just to condemn—he wanted action.
He called out Ranveer Allahbadia in a viral social media post, tagging Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and DGP Maharashtra.
And he didn’t hold back.
“It doesn’t matter if he apologises or not, we need to take action against him. Otherwise, someone else will try the same thing.”
Then came the real warning:
“If I meet Ranveer in any Mumbai party or show, I’ll not spare him. His security won’t be able to save him; nor will any power in the world.”
Saurav Gurjar made it clear—this isn’t about free speech. He believes Ranveer Allahbadia crossed a line and needs consequences.

Ranveer Allahbadia’s past comments resurface, making things worse for him



As if the current mess wasn’t enough, the internet dug up an old interview where Ranveer Allahbadia doubled down on his love for “offensive humor.”
In a resurfaced clip, Ranveer Allahbadia was seen speaking to Bollywood director Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn during Singham Again promotions. He praised India’s Got Latent, saying it featured “hyper-offensive” content.
“At some point, I think yeh so-called offensive humour lautega and then boys like us will be happy.”
He also claimed that people between the ages of 7 and 70 secretly watched the show because it was "too explicit for family viewing."
Now, people aren’t just mad about his India’s Got Latent question. They’re questioning whether he ever really saw anything wrong with it.

Despite Supreme Court relief, Ranveer Allahbadia’s legal battles and public hate keep growing



Ranveer Allahbadia may have secured interim relief from the Supreme Court, but that doesn’t mean he’s off the hook.
The FIRs? Still active. His reputation? Hanging by a thread. Hate? At an all-time high.
Some believe the controversy is blown out of proportion—Uorfi Javed and Kashish Kapoor argue that his apology should be enough. Others see this as a rare moment where a powerful YouTuber is actually facing consequences.
One thing is clear: Ranveer Allahbadia isn’t walking away from this unscathed.
