YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia is under substantial backlash for his comments on the 'India's Got Talent' show, with ripples impacting his professional endeavors. Despite his apologies, guests are declining appearances on his notable podcast.
Singer B Praak himself announced this decision. He shared a video stating his intent to join Ranveer's podcast next week, now canceled due to dissatisfaction with Ranveer's comments.
B Praak Cancels Appearance
I was supposed to be on a Bearded Biceps podcast, but we have canceled it. You know his thinking is quite disgraceful. The words he used on Samay Raina's show are not reflective of our Indian culture. These aren't our values. What sort of stories are you narrating from our parents? What kind of topics are these? Is this supposed to be comedy?
This is not comedy at all. It's not stand-up comedy. Teaching people how to curse and hurl insults, what kind of generation does this appeal to? I don't understand. He also mentioned comedian Mandeep Singh, asking, 'You are a Sikh, is this becoming of you? How's your mother? Is your mind okay? What lessons are you imparting to people?' The comedian posts on his Instagram, claiming there's no issue with cursing. I have a problem with it and always will.
'Ranveer's Disgraceful Thinking'
''Ranveer Allahbadia, you speak of religion and spirituality, have prominent guests and sages on your podcast, yet your thinking is so degrading. Friends, I must say, if we don’t stop such antics, the future of your children could be dire. Please, I also urge Samay Raina and other comedians who frequent this show to kindly reconsider.''
B Praak's Request
''Preserve our Indian culture and motivate people. Please, this is my plea. Your name has become quite significant; use this platform to promote our culture and teach valuable lessons to others. I genuinely want to know what you learned from participating in these shows. I sincerely request you to avoid creating content that misguides the generation; rather, offer something educational.''
What Was the Incident?
To clarify, Ranveer participated as a guest judge on the 'India's Got Talent' show. There, he asked a controversial question about a contestant's parents' intimate life, sparking a substantial uproar. The question was, 'Would you prefer watching your parents being intimate for the rest of your life or join them once and never see them again?' This led to a massive backlash, even drawing criticism from the Maharashtra CM. Ranveer's fans expressed disappointment, finding it unbecoming of his persona to make such crude jokes.
