Dhruv Rathee has strongly condemned the use of abusive and vulgar language in content creation, emphasising that in his extensive catalog of over 1,000 videos, shorts, and reels, "you won't find a single abusive word for anyone."

I've always been strongly against abusive and vulgar language. In the 1000+ videos, shorts and reels that I have made, you won't find a single abusive word for anyone.

What is being done today in the name of dank comedy is pure nonsense. The only purpose is to shock and disgust¡­

Criticising the current trend of dank comedy, he asserts, "What is being done today in the name of dank comedy is pure nonsense. The only purpose is to shock and disgust audiences for views, which is having a disastrous impact on the moral development of our youth."

However, he cautions against government-imposed bans, warning that such actions could lead to "a harsh censorship regime." Instead, he believes the responsibility lies with the audience and industry to "pressurize content creators to make better content."

Rathee also draws a parallel between India's Got Latent and films like Animal, stating that both contribute to the "moral decay of society" and must be called out in "strong words."

What did Ranveer Allahbadia say?

The controversy began on India's Got Latent, a show hosted by Samay Raina and entrepreneur Balraj Singh Ghai, known for its tagline, "An unnecessary reality show with no purpose¡ªjust like life."

The show, popular for its dark and unfiltered humour, has often sparked debates over its content.

Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, recently appeared as a guest, and a clip from the episode quickly went viral.

In the video, he posed an extremely inappropriate question to a contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it forever?"

The remark led to widespread backlash, with many criticising the insensitivity of the comment. In response, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging, "My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry."
