Popular singer B Praak has bashed YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia for his inappropriate comments at Samay Raina’s show at India’s Got Latent. While the Podcaster apologised for his derogatory remarks, B Praak called him ‘pathetic’ and also revealed that he was scheduled to appear on his show (TRS) but has now cancelled his appearance.
B Praak shared a video message in Hindi on Instagram, where he said, “I was supposed to appear on a podcast, on Beer Biceps, and we cancelled that. Why? Since we are all seeing how pathetic his thinking is. The choice of words that he has used on Samay Raina’s show.”
“Ye humara Indian culture nahi hai. Ye humara culture hi nahi hai. Ap apne parents ke kaun si story bata rahe ho? Ap unki kaun si baatein kar rahe ho? Ye comedy hain? This is not at all comedy. Logo ko gaaliyan dena, logon ko gaaliyan sikhana, ye kaun si generation… mereko samajh hi nahi aa raha (This is not our Indian culture. What story are you telling about your parents? What are you even talking about them? Is this comedy? You are abusing people, teaching them how to abuse… I fail to understand this generation),” he added.
Yesterday, Ranveer shared an video of apologising for his comment and said, “I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s got latent. I’m sorry.” My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many of you have asked if this is how I want to use my platform. Obviously this is not how I wish to use it."
He added, “I am not here to give any context, justification or reasoning whatever happened. I am just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgment, it wasn’t cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages. Don’t want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly. Family is the last thing I would ever disrespect.”
