Trouble is growing for YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia after his inappropriate comments on the roast show India’s Got Latent. Although the 31-year-old has apologised, the controversy continues to escalate.

Here’s a summary of the situation:

1. Priyanka Chaturvedi, a Rajya Sabha MP from Shiv Sena (UBT), said she will bring up the issue in the Parliamentary panel for the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

3. Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, recently appeared in an episode of India's Got Latent hosted by Raina. A viral clip from the episode shows Allahbadia asking a contestant an inappropriate and offensive question about parents, sparking a massive backlash.
   
   
4. Following the incident, Allahbadia issued an apology. He admitted that his comment was not only inappropriate but also not funny. He acknowledged that comedy was not his strength and expressed regret for his lapse in judgment.
   
   
5. Allahbadia emphasised that this is not how he wants to use his platform and took full responsibility for the incident, offering a sincere apology without attempting to justify his actions.
   
   
6. The incident has sparked wider criticism about crude content in comedy. Singer B Praak, who was scheduled to appear on Allahbadia's show, canceled his appearance and urged comedians to be more mindful of the content they create.

This controversy highlights growing concerns about the boundaries of comedy and the responsibility influencers have towards their audience.
