Popular singer and music composer B Praak has cancelled his scheduled appearance on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the YouTuber’s remarks on India’s Got Latent. This decision comes after Allahabadia posed a highly inappropriate question to a contestant during a recent episode, sparking widespread outrage across social media and political circles.
The Controversy: What Happened?
During an episode of India’s Got Latent, Ranveer Allahabadia asked a contestant a shocking and offensive question, which led to a massive backlash. Complainant filed a complaint against Allahabadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the show’s organizers. The complaint accused them of making derogatory, abusive, and hurtful remarks against a particular community, igniting a wave of criticism online.
The controversy escalated as netizens, influencers, celebrities, and political leaders expressed their disapproval. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also spoke out against the incident, stating, “Freedom of speech should not come at the cost of disrespecting our values and communities. Strict action should be taken if rules are violated.”
