Video from 2021 has been shared as Ranveer Allahbadia crying after the ongoing controversy.
YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, and Samay Raina have landed in controversy after multiple complaints were filed against them over an obscene joke made during an episode of India’s Got Latent. A case was registered against both creators on Monday, and they were summoned by the Mumbai Police the following day. The controversy is expected to escalate, with political leaders stating they will raise the issue in Parliament.
Ranveer Allahbadia, a content creator with over 12 million subscribers across his seven YouTube channels, was previously honored with the Disruptor of the Year award by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the National Creators Award held at Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam last year.
Amidst the ongoing backlash, a viral video circulating online allegedly shows Ranveer Allahbadia in tears, seemingly feeling guilty and apologizing. In the clip, he is heard saying that he has exposed his entire team to the situation, that all work has come to a halt due to him, and that he does not wish to vlog the incident.
The caption of the video states, “Ranveer Allahbadia crying after controversy.”
Fact Check-
We started our investigation by running a simple keyword search on Youtube, that led us to a video published by Ranveer Allahbadia on YouTube on 7 April 2021. The caption of the video states “This Is NOT Clickbait – My Covid-19 Experience | Vlog 24.” This video is a part of the daily vlog he was creating during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2021. In this video he mentions that he was tested positive for COVID-19. In this video he says, “I have been tested positive for COVID-19, I have exposed my entire team to this disease and all my work has halted due to this. I don’t want to vlog this but if I don’t vlog then there won’t be any video to upload on the channel, now for 14 days I will have to live life like we did during the lockdown. I just want to get better and work.”
Since, this video has been present on the internet since 2021, it is clear that this video is not Ranveer Allahbadia’s reaction after the ongoing controversy.
Ranveer has issued an apology for making obscene jokes on Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. Facing intense backlash for his remarks, Ranveer took to X on 10 February to admit his mistake and express remorse.
In the video, he acknowledged that comedy is not his strength and assured his audience that he would use his platform more responsibly moving forward.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate—it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I’m here to say sorry,” he stated. “Many of you asked if this is how I want to use my platform, and the answer is no. I’m not going to offer any context, justification, or reasoning for what happened.”
He continued, “I’m here solely to apologize. I had a lapse in judgment, and it wasn’t right on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Family is the last thing I would ever want to disrespect.”
Reflecting on the controversy, he added, “This experience has taught me that I need to use my platform more responsibly. I promise to do better. I’ve asked the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections, and all I can say in the end is that I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”
Conclusion-
Fact Crescendo has found the viral video on the internet to be circulating with false claims.
