Ranveer Allahbadia, widely recognized as BeerBiceps, has found himself at the center of a legal controversy following controversial remarks he made on Samay Raina's popular show, India’s Got Talent. Surprisingly, Ranveer’s comment wasn’t entirely his own, as it was actually borrowed from a recent episode of OG Crew’s Truth or Drink, where the host Sammy Walsh posed the exact same provocative question to Alan Fang.
The resemblance in the question has caused a stir, with many highlighting that Ranveer's statement was not original. This has also sparked concerns about the increasing influence of American culture on India, with some fearing that such content may become more prevalent in the country.
Ranveer's comments have triggered a major backlash, resulting in legal action and widespread condemnation from various quarters.
He was joined on the show by other well-known content creators such as Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija, also known as Rebel Kid.
Ranveer Allahbadia as well as Sammy Walsh asked the same question, that is why "Would you rather watch your mom and dad have sex every night for the rest of your life or join in one time to make it stop and never have to watch it again?"
Ranveer Allahbadia was aware of what he was going to say- it was a well prepared skit copied from an English show! It was not an accident or a slip of tongue!Dont accept his apology because it was not a mistake! Watch! #Beerbiceps pic.twitter.com/b1rj2bHOn5

The OG Crew, a comedy collective formed by Australian comedian Sammy Walsh along with Akila, Andrew, Abby, and Alan, has gained a significant following for their humorous content.
The controversy erupted when Allahbadia made a controversial remark that quickly went viral, prompting the Guwahati Police to file an FIR. The police have charged Allahbadia and the other judges with promoting explicit and inappropriate content during their appearance on the show.
Politicians, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and opposition leaders, have strongly criticized Allahbadia’s remark, with some questioning the decision to honor him with a “National Creators Award” ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The backlash intensified due to his large online following, which includes over 6 lakh followers on X, 4.5 million on Instagram, and more than 10 million subscribers on YouTube.
Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent is a unique reality competition that features celebrity judges who evaluate participants based on their performances. The show's intriguing twist lies in the fact that contestants must also predict their own scores in order to secure a win, adding an extra layer of excitement and challenge to the proceedings.
