YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia has landed in controversy over his objectionable remarks on parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent. What started as backlash online has now escalated to legal trouble, police complaints, summons, and demands to completely ban the show.

For those unversed, during the latest episode Ranveer asked a 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." Social media influencers Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Makhija were also present with Ranveer.

3. Maharashtra CM Fadnavis' reaction

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that comedians and influencers should not cross boundaries while reacting to Ranveer-Samay's controversy.

"Certain things have been said and presented in a very wrong manner, as I have come to know... This is absolutely wrong. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, but our freedom ends where we encroach upon someone else’s freedom. This is not right. I believe that even expression has its limits," Fadnavis told media persons.

He added, "Our society has established certain norms regarding obscenity, and if someone crosses those boundaries, it is a very serious matter. Action should be taken against this."

"My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology," he said.

Ranveer continued, "I personally had a lapse in judgement... Wasn't cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages and 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."

On X, she wrote, "Any abusive language in the name of comedy content crosses limits is not acceptable . You get a platform, that doesn't mean that you will utter anything. He is someone with millions of subscribers, every political has sat in his podcast. PM has given him an award... As a member of standing committee of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, I will raise this issue."

Singer B Praak announced that he has cancelled his appearance on Ranveer's podcast amid the outrage over the Youtuber's objectionable comments. The singer called Ranveer's statements 'pathetic' and urged comedians to save Indian culture.

"I was supposed to go to Beer Biceps' podcast, but I have now cancelled it. Why? Do you know what kind of pathetic thinking and words are being used? Samay Raina ke show pe jo ho raha hai, yeh hamara Indian culture nahi hai. This is not our culture at all," he said.
