After Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remarks in an episode of ‘India's Got Latent’, Manoj Bajpayee and Imtiaz Ali reacted to the same.
Trouble continues to mount for YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as Beer Biceps, after his controversial remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s show 'India’s Got Latent'. His inappropriate question to a contestant sparked nationwide outrage, leading to multiple complaints against him. Now, Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee and filmmaker Imtiaz Ali have weighed in on the controversy, criticising Ranveer Allahbadia’s comments and urging young influencers to be more mindful of their surroundings. During an interview with Instant Bollywood, Imtiaz Ali dismissed Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks as a sign of “immaturity”.
A video of Manoj Bajpayee and Imtiaz Ali speaking about the ongoing controversy was shared by Instant Bollywood on Instagram.

In the video, Imtiaz Ali pointed out that short-lived fame gained often fades quickly. He said, “Short way mein jo fame aata hai, woh short way mein chala bhi jaata hai. Aur mujhe lagta hai jisko jis cheez mein mazaa aata hai, usko wohi karna chahiye. Aur ashleelta aisa subject hai… obviously, wo bura hai ye to koi bhi kahega. But log immature hote hain toh zyada seriously unki galtiyon ko lena bhi nahi chahiye.”
Manoj Bajpayee echoed his sentiments, stressing the importance of awareness and responsibility, especially among young people. He also stated that people should read newspapers more often to stay informed.
The actor said, “Aaj kal safalta bohot jaldi milti hai. Mazaa is baat mein hai ki hum safalta ko zyada der tak apne paas kheenchke rakhe taaki baad mein hum uska mazaa le paaye. Isliye jo bhi log safal ho rahe hain, young hain, yuva hain humesha jo hai mahaul ko zara dekhein samjhe, bahut zaruri hota hai. Isliye main kehta hun zara newspaper padho yaar.”
Imtiaz Ali also cited Manoj Bajpayee as an example of someone who achieved success through years of dedication rather than shortcuts.
The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant an offensive question, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
The remark led to widespread backlash, prompting official complaints and intervention from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Following the uproar, the episode was removed from YouTube, and Ranveer Allahbadia later issued a public apology, admitting that his comments were inappropriate.
