 "Ranveer Allahbadia 'apologised after parents s*x joke, hugged contestant,' reveals audience member from the controversial episode: 'Samay Raina also said...' WATCH")
While Ranveer Allahbadia has been garnering criticism for his distasteful ‘parents sex’ joke in the latest episode of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent, an audience member has revealed the true story. The member named Mohit claimed that right after the parental sex question, Ranveer Allahbadia apologised to the contestant, hugged him and asked if he was uncomfortable.
“I was present there, I know what happened. I was in the audience. That child came, Ranveer said that joke. After saying it, Ranveer apologised around four times – ‘Sorry, aapko bura toh nahi laga’. I know a sorry does not fix anything but still, he ensured that the kid was comfortable. Then they spoke to that child. Samay also asked if he was okay. That child also won (on the show). Everyone celebrated after he won. Ranveer hugged him. ‘You okay? Sorry, if you felt bad for that joke’. Samay also said, ‘You killed it, bhai. Crazy’. I am only asking everyone not to spread hate unnecessarily," he said in the video.
Urging everyone to stop spreading hatred against Ranveer and Samay, he captioned the post, “I fu**ing love samay. He is the most humble guy I have ever met before India’s Got Latent. I used to attend his shows dude. That guy is so fu**ing humble."
In the latest episode of India’s Got Latent, Ranveer asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?” Soon, this comment spread like wildfire on social and sparked outrage among netizens followed by garnering backlash from celebs and politicians.
After the backlash, Ranveer Allahbadia shared a video apologising for his joke and said, “My comment wasn’t inappropriate; comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many asked, Is this how I use the platform? to which he stated, ‘Obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened; I am just here for the apology,” he wrote. “I personally had a lapse, and judgment wasn’t cool on my path. The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don’t want to be the person that takes that responsibility lightly, and family is the last thing that I would disrespect.”
“Need to use this platform better; that’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promised to just get better; I have asked the makers to remove the insensitive sections from the video, and all I can say in the end is, Sorry, I hope you can forgive me as a human being,” he added.
