Perverse. Bad taste. Extremely unfunny. Not required.
Get a hold of Ranveer Allahbadia's shocking comment and the halfhearted remorse that followed.
This show. India’s Got Latent.
And now, Ranveer Allahbadia is apologizing like he didn’t know this was wrong until he got called out. As if.
Let’s be clear—this isn’t just about one disgusting question. This entire show is filled with problematic, tone-deaf, and straight-up offensive segments. But let’s start with the worst of the worst:
"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?"
Who in their right mind thinks that’s funny? And yet, there was Ranveer—YouTuber, podcaster, self-proclaimed "thought leader"—asking this in front of an audience, like it was prime entertainment.
Naturally, people were furious. An FIR was filed. The internet exploded. And what does Ranveer do? He puts out a casual apology. The kind where you can almost hear the PR team whispering in the background: “Just say you’re sorry so this dies down.”
But here’s the truth: Ranveer isn’t sorry. He’s just sorry he got caught.
Because that’s how this game works. Influencers and content creators—most of them, not all, but most—live for likes and views. They don’t care about you. They care about engagement. Outrage? That’s just another metric.
And let’s not pretend this is a one-off mistake. India’s Got Latent is packed with content like this. Cheap shock value, forced humor, zero thought about the impact.
The fallout? Oh, it’s been brutal.
Over 1 lakh followers lost overnight.
Singer B Praak refused to appear on Ranveer’s podcast, straight up saying, “This isn’t Indian culture.”
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) wants the show banned.
YouTube removed the episode after a government notice.
And speaking of YouTube—let’s talk about this platform for a second.
The same YouTube that demonetizes, shadowbans, and flags down legit content creators over the smallest infractions. The same YouTube that hands out community strikes like candy for using copyrighted music for two seconds or discussing serious issues under "sensitive content" guidelines.
But somehow, this garbage? This perverse, disgusting excuse for entertainment? It slides under the radar—until the outrage gets too big to ignore.
So yes, I’m saying this on the very platform you’re watching this. YouTube is complicit.
They’ll let trash like this rack up views, make money, and stay up for as long as it’s profitable. But the moment the backlash comes, they pretend they had no idea. They act righteous. They pull the plug not because they care— but because they have to.
So don’t buy the act. And definitely, don’t excuse the behavior.
