Netizens Demand End to India’s Got Latent After New Controversy Involving BeerBiceps
Another day, another controversy for India’s Got Latent. The reality show is making headlines again, but not for the right reasons. This time, well-known YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has landed in trouble after a crude joke on the show. The backlash is fierce, and many are now calling for the show to be canceled.
The Joke That Sparked Outrage
During an episode, BeerBiceps asked a contestant a disturbing question: Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join them once to end it? The question left even Samay Raina, a judge on the show known for his edgy humor, stunned. “What the f**?”* Raina reacted, while another judge was heard saying, “Kya ho gaya hai Ranveer bhai ko?”
The moment quickly spread on social media, with many calling it disgusting and inappropriate for a mainstream platform. Criticism poured in, with people slamming the show for allowing such comments to air.
Not the First Time
This controversy follows another recent scandal involving contestant Jessy Nabam. Just weeks ago, an FIR was filed against her for allegedly making insensitive remarks about eating dog meat. That incident had already put the show under scrutiny, and now, BeerBiceps’ remarks have only added fuel to the fire.
Legal Trouble & Political Response
As the outrage grew, reports emerged of legal complaints being filed against the show. According to sources, a letter has been submitted to the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women’s Commission demanding strict action for using abusive language on air.
Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, also weighed in. Speaking to reporters, he said, “I have come to know about it. I have not seen it yet. Things have been said and presented in a wrong way. Everyone has freedom of speech, but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others.” His statement suggests that the controversy has caught the attention of authorities, and some form of action may follow.
The internet is buzzing with reactions. Many users on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram are calling for India’s Got Latent to be taken off the air. Some even started trending hashtags like #CancelIndiasGotLatent and #ShutDownIGL to pressure the producers and network.
A user wrote, “This show is becoming trashier by the day. It should be banned already.” Another said, “First the dog meat controversy, now this disgusting joke. How much lower will this show go?”
Fans of the show are divided. While some believe the joke was in poor taste but not a reason to cancel the show, others argue that such behavior should not be tolerated. The producers have yet to release an official statement addressing the backlash.
What’s Next?
With mounting pressure and legal trouble brewing, the future of India’s Got Latent seems uncertain. Will the show survive this latest controversy, or will it finally meet its end? For now, the audience waits to see if the makers will take responsibility or if this will be just another scandal in the history of reality TV.
