Thu Feb 13 03:41:45 UTC 2025: ## YouTuber BeerBiceps Faces Backlash After Controversial Joke

**Mumbai, India** – Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, is facing widespread condemnation and legal action following a controversial joke made on the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent.” The joke, which involved a sexually explicit question posed to a contestant, sparked outrage on social media and prompted multiple police investigations.

Allahbadia’s question, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?” elicited immediate backlash. Following the controversy, Allahbadia issued a public apology, stating that “comedy is not his forte” and acknowledging a “lapse in judgment.” However, the apology did not quell the growing outrage.

The fallout has been swift and significant. Comedian Samay Raina, the host of “India’s Got Latent,” removed all episodes of the show from his YouTube channel. Police in Mumbai and Assam have registered FIRs against Allahbadia and other participants in the show, while a parliamentary panel is considering summoning him. The National Commission for Women and several state officials have also condemned the joke, calling for stricter regulations on online content. Prominent figures from the Indian film industry, including AR Rahman (who made a veiled reference to the controversy), Boney Kapoor, and Mukesh Khanna, have voiced their disapproval. Several celebrities have publicly stated that they cancelled planned appearances with Allahbadia.

The controversy has also prompted a debate on freedom of speech, online content regulation, and the responsibility of social media influencers. The Mumbai Police have launched an inquiry and are investigating complaints, while the Maharashtra Cyber Cell has filed a case against numerous individuals involved in the show. A significant drop in Allahbadia’s social media following has been reported since the incident. The incident has reignited discussions surrounding the AIB Roast controversy of 2015, highlighting the ongoing tension between freedom of expression and societal norms. The long-term consequences for Allahbadia and the future regulation of online content remain to be seen.
