Ranveer Allahbadia breaks silence on controversy, apologizes fiercely after ex-WWE star threatens him

Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, has issued his first statement since facing backlash for his controversial remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. The controversy escalated after former WWE wrestler Saurav Gurjar, also known as Sanga, condemned Allahbadia and threatened him publicly.


Former WWE wrestler Saurav Gurjar came down hard on Ranveer Allahbadia, rejecting his apology and demanding strict action for his controversial comment. In a video posted on social media platform "X", Saurav Gurjar made his stance clear, stating that Allahbadia had crossed a line and should face the consequences.
“It doesn’t matter if he apologises or not, we need to take action against him. Otherwise, someone else will try the same thing,” Gurjar stated.
The ex-WWE star did not mince words, warning Allahbadia that personal security or influence would not protect him if they met face-to-face:
“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. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want.”
Gurjar, known for his WWE NXT appearances, called for legal action to set an example:
“The kind of things he has said, I demand the government to take strict action against him. People like him have crossed all limits. We should take legal action against people like him who are spoiling our society and religion by saying such things, so that the next generation can be saved."


On Saturday, February 15, Ranveer Allahbadia issued his first statement since the controversy broke. Apologizing on X, he admitted his remarks were wrong but revealed he was now facing severe backlash, including threats against his family.
In his post, Allahbadia acknowledged his mistake:
“I will follow due process and be available to all agencies. My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better, and I am genuinely sorry.”
However, his apology was not the end of the ordeal. Allahbadia said he was living in fear:
“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. But I’m not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India,” he wrote.
Samay Raina, host of India's Got Latent, responded to the escalating controversy by deleting every episode of the show from his YouTube channel. On Instagram, he shared that the backlash was overwhelming but promised to cooperate fully with authorities.
“Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you,” Raina posted.


The backlash has escalated into a legal battle. Multiple FIRs have been filed against Ranveer Allahbadia across India. On Friday, he approached the Supreme Court seeking to club these cases into one.
Senior Advocate Abhinav Chandrachud, representing Allahbadia, presented the matter before a bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna. Chandrachud stated:
“Multiple FIRs have been registered against my client, and Assam Police summoned him on Friday.”
Chief Justice Khanna responded that the court would assign a date for the case but would not entertain oral mentionings.
TV personality Raghu Ram addressed the controversy over Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks on India's Got Latent. On Instagram, he stated he doesn't regret joining the show but acknowledged some jokes may have been inappropriate for a wider YouTube audience. While he might have excluded certain jokes, he said it wasn't his place to dictate content choices.
As criticism continues to mount, new voices from those present at the controversial episode have emerged, offering a different perspective.
Content creator Mohit Khubani, who claimed to have attended the taping, shared his experience on Instagram:
"I was present in that episode. I was in the audience… That kid came, Ranveer said that joke. After saying it, Ranveer apologised (to the contestant) around three to four times…saying, ‘Sorry, aapko bura toh nahi laga (hope you didn’t feel bad).’"
Khubani acknowledged that an apology doesn’t erase everything but stressed that Allahbadia made a genuine effort to ensure the contestant felt okay. He also revealed that the contestant ultimately won the competition that day:

"That child won. Everyone celebrated after he won. Ranveer hugged him and asked again, ‘You okay? Sorry, if you felt bad for that joke.’ Samay also said, ‘You killed it, bhai. Crazy.’"
There’s more storm brewing. Travel vlogger Shenaz Treasury revealed she lost a brand deal due to the backlash surrounding India's Got Latent and Ranveer Allahbadia’s jokes on parental sex.
In an interview with Moneycontrol, Shenaz shared that a marathon platform withdrew their offer after the controversy. “They called and dropped me, saying they can’t risk working with influencers after what happened with Allahbadia,” she said.
