He wrote: “Meet the perverted creators who are shaping our country’s creative economy. This content is not designated as adult content — it can be seen with ease even by a child if the algorithm takes him or her there. The creators or the platform have zero sense of responsibility.”

Misra further criticized the normalization of such crass humor, saying, “Decency is not incentivised in India — by platforms or audiences — and creators are stooping lower and lower for audience reach and revenue.”

Several social media users joined the backlash against Ranveer Allahbadia.

@Maahibahubali questioned how someone honored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi could ask such disgraceful questions. The user wrote, “जिस व्यक्ति को @narendramodi जी ने ‘National Creator Award’ से सम्मानित किया, वह ऐसे घिनौने और शर्मनाक सवाल पूछ रहा है… क्या ऐसे लोग हमारे बच्चों और समाज के लिए रोल मॉडल बनने लायक हैं?” He further added that such influencers are corrupting young minds and the government should reconsider promoting them.

@Rupesh_Ghosh_ criticized the growing trend of dark comedy, stating, “I Never Liked Samay Raina Style Of Comedy, But Now In The Name Of Dark Comedy Everyone Is Talking Shit.”

He also mocked Allahbadia’s so-called intellectualism, adding, “And Finally, So Called Intellectual Ranveer Allahbadia Showed His True Intellectualism.”

@iamkartikvikram highlighted Allahbadia’s political connections, writing, “Would you watch your parents have sex everyday of your life or would you join in once?” – Ranveer Allahbadia aka Beerbiceps.

He pointed out, “He was felicitated by the Prime Minister and did podcast with many Politicians. Background checks are a must.”

Criticism Over Government Recognition

Amid the outrage, several users also pointed out that Allahbadia’s request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a podcast was turned down by the BJP strongman at the ‘Disruptor of the Year’ title at the National Creators Award 2024, held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi.

Allahbadia had done podcasts with Smriti Irani, S Jaishankar and Nitin Gadkari but Modi had publicly denounced his request.

Many netizens asked Gadkari, Irani and Jaishankar on why they must never entertain such Youtubers who are not journalists by any standard and have degraded the content quality to gain reach and followers.

Legal Implications and Public Reactions

Advocate Seema Sindhu, Supreme Court, commented on the legal ramifications of Allahbadia’s remarks: “The comments can be booked under Section 294 and 295 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita.” These comments are not just vulgar but also provoking incest. Both the sections are cognizable and bailable.”

A social media user, Bharatiya Sanatani (@SanataniSpeaks), expressed their discontent, tweeting: “Disgusted.

In the end, it’s all about money.

He is not making any difference, he is selling content that is in demand to mint his money. Sadly, people forgot many so-called influencers’ recent past. Again, his parents must be proud after hearing this.”

The incident has reignited discussions on content moderation, responsibility, and the ethics of digital entertainment in India.

Many have called for stricter guidelines on streaming platforms and social media to prevent the spread of inappropriate content.

Neither Allahbadia nor the makers of India’s Got Latent have issued a public statement addressing the controversy.

However, the growing backlash indicates that the debate on responsible content creation in India is far from over.
