YouTube content creator Ranveer Allahbadia<\/a> and others, including comedian Samay Raina and the producers of the stand-up comedy show ‘India’s Got Latent<\/a>‘, have been summoned – on February 17 – by the National Commission for Women over allegedly derogatory comments.<\/p>\n

Taking exception to the comments, the NCW has said these violate the dignity and respect owed to every individual, particularly in a society that claims to uphold equality and mutual respect.<\/p>\n

Apart from Allahbadia and Raina, those summoned include social media influencer Apoorva Makhija and the show’s producers, Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra.<\/p>\n

In a recent episode of the show Allahbadia – aka ‘BeerBiceps Guy’ – asked a question that triggered a furious row, and led to questions being asked over standards in comedy content. The video of that question has now been removed from YouTube after the government sent the platform a notice.<\/p>\n

Police complaints have been filed in Mumbai and Guwahati against Allahbadia, Raina, Makhija (a social media influencer) and others associated with that particular episode.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Allahbadia may also be summoned by a parliamentary panel to explain his crass remarks; this emerged after Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, who is on Standing Committee of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, said she will raise this issue in the House.<\/p>\n

“Any abusive language in the name of comedy content crosses limits is not acceptable… You get a platform, that doesn’t mean that you will utter anything…” she said in an X post.<\/p>\n

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also vowed action.<\/p>\n

“Everyone has freedom of speech… but this ends when we encroach on others’ freedom… if anyone crosses then action will be taken,” he said.<\/p>\n

After the remarks sparked a row, Allahbadia offered an apology and blamed a lapse in judgement. “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate… it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry,” he said in a video message.<\/p>\n

The podcaster said this was not how he wished to use his platform. “I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgement. It wasn’t cool on my part,” he said.<\/p>\n
