B Praak cancels podcast appearance over Ranveer Allahbadia's 'sex' remarks
What's the story
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps is facing intense backlash over controversial remarks made on India's Got Latent. The uproar began after Allahbadia asked a contestant if they would rather watch their parents have sex or join in once to stop it. While he apologized for his offensive comments on Monday, the outrage continues to grow. Now, renowned singer B Praak has slammed the YouTuber and even canceled his scheduled appearance on Allahbadia's show.
Public condemnation
'This is not our Indian culture': Praak on Allahbadia's comments
In a video message on Instagram posted late on Monday, Praak expressed his disappointment with Allahbadia's crass remarks. He said in Hindi, "I was supposed to appear on a podcast, on Beer Biceps, and we canceled that. Why? Since we are all seeing how pathetic his thinking is." He further questioned the nature of Allahbadia's humor by saying, "Ye humara Indian culture nahi hai (This isn't our culture)...Is this comedy?"
Contradictory stance
Praak called out Allahbadia's contradictory stance
In the same video, the 39-year-old singer also pointed out the hypocrisy in Allahbadia's behavior, who is famous for promoting spirituality on his famous podcast. He wondered how someone who advocates Sanatan Dharma and hosts dignitaries could have such a mindset. The singer urged people to take a stand against this issue, adding that ignoring it could possibly harm future generations.
