Amid Raging Ranveer Allahbadia Sex Controversy, Manoj Bajpayee to Poonam Pandey, Celebrities React with Mixed Opinions

YouTuber and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has come under intense scrutiny after his controversial remarks on India’s Got Latent ignited a massive uproar. The conversation, which featured comedian Samay Raina and other panelists, took a controversial turn when Ranveer asked a contestant a crude question related to sex.

The backlash was immediate. Multiple FIRs have been filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and the show's makers, accusing them of making vulgar and obscene remarks. While public outrage continues, several celebrities and socialites have now stepped forward to share their views—some defending Ranveer and Samay, while others condemning their actions.

Imtiaz Ali and Manoj Bajpayee React to Ranveer Allahbadia’s Controversial Remarks

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and veteran actor Manoj Bajpayee shared their thoughts on the controversy in an interview with Instant Bollywood.

Imtiaz Ali stated: "Shortcuts to fame come and go. I believe people should do what they genuinely enjoy. Obscenity is obviously a bad subject—anyone would say that. But people are immature, so we shouldn’t take their mistakes too seriously."

Backing his opinion, Manoj Bajpayee added: "Young people who are succeeding in life should observe and understand the environment before making such statements."

Both agreed that while crude humour has its space, influencers must be mindful of their words, considering their massive audience.

What Led to the Ranveer Allahbadia Sex Controversy?

The India’s Got Latent controversy erupted after membership YouTube video featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani, and others was made public.

Several vulgar and obscene remarks were made while interacting with contestants. Soon, clips of the conversation went viral across Instagram, Reddit, and X, triggering widespread backlash.

Many political leaders and social media users criticised the content, raising concerns over influencers using their massive platforms irresponsibly.

However, the controversy did not settle there. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis criticised Ranveer and Samay, questioning whether freedom of speech allows for such remarks.

Additionally, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske raised the issue in Lok Sabha, urging the government to create guidelines for regulating content on social media platforms.

The Debate Over Free Speech and Accountability Continues

The Ranveer Allahbadia sex controversy has triggered a broader debate on free speech, social media influence, and content regulation. While some believe Ranveer and Samay should face legal consequences, others argue that comedy and dark humor should not be criminalised.

With political leaders, celebrities, and the public weighing in, the controversy is far from over. Whether it results in stricter guidelines for online content or simply fades away over time remains to be seen.
