Popular YouTuber and BeerBiceps host Ranveer Allahbadia, who has been facing intense backlash for his comments on India’s Got Latent, has addressed the ongoing controversy in a social media post. Amid growing criticism and reported threats to his family, Allahbadia expressed regret over his remarks while reaffirming his trust in the country’s legal system.
The controversy erupted after Allahbadia made what he admitted was an “insensitive and disrespectful” comment about parents on comedian Samay Raina’s show. Facing widespread condemnation, he took to social media to issue an apology, stating, “I’m not running away. My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better, and I am genuinely sorry.”
Beyond the online criticism, the YouTuber also revealed the alarming consequences his family is facing. “I’m watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family. People have invaded my mother’s clinic posing as patients. I’m feeling scared and I don’t know what to do,” he shared.
Despite the threats, Allahbadia maintained his faith in the Indian authorities. “I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India. My team and I are cooperating with the police and all other authorities. I will follow due process and be available to all agencies,” he assured his followers.

This is not the first time Allahbadia has addressed the issue publicly. Earlier, he had released a video apologising for his comments, acknowledging that comedy is not his strength. “Just here to say sorry… Many of you asked if this is how I wish to use my platform. Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect. I need to use this platform better, and that’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to just get better… I hope you can forgive me as a human being,” he had stated.
Allahbadia, known for hosting influential personalities on his YouTube channel, continues to navigate the fallout from the controversy. While facing severe criticism, he remains hopeful that the matter will be handled within the framework of the country’s legal system.
