Ranveer Allahbadia gets green light from Supreme Court to resume podcast but conditions apply ...
Ranveer Allahbadia has been granted permission by the Supreme Court to resume The Ranveer Show after the India¡¯s Got Latent controversy led to multiple FIRs. The SC¡¯s ruling comes with conditions of maintaining "decency" and morality, following his emotional appeal that his podcast is his primary livelihood.
The drama surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia, aka Beer Biceps, just took a major turn as the Supreme Court finally allowed him to get back to doing what he does best¡ªpodcasting. After a whirlwind of FIRs, public outrage, and a whole lot of courtroom drama, Ranveer can now resume The Ranveer Show, but only if he keeps things "decent" and aligns with "desired standards of morality." In other words, no more scandalous chat that could land him back in hot water.
The courtroom battle around the India's Got Latent controversy
On Monday, Ranveer made an emotional appeal before the Supreme Court, pleading that his podcast was his only source of income. He highlighted that not only his own livelihood but that of 280 other employees depended on the show. The SC took this into consideration and ruled in his favor, with the strict condition that his content should be suitable for audiences of all ages.
However, the court wasn¡¯t all that lenient. Justice Kant didn¡¯t hold back, condemning the language used in the controversial episode of India¡¯s Got Latent as ¡°dirty¡± and ¡°perverted.¡± The judge questioned Allahbadia¡¯s counsel, making it clear that the remarks made in the viral video clips were beyond acceptable limits of decency.
The India¡¯s Got Latent controversy: How it all started
This fiasco began on February 8 when a certain episode of comedian Samay Raina¡¯s YouTube show, India¡¯s Got Latent, featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija, went viral for all the wrong reasons. The clips, laced with explicit sexual references involving parents, sparked mass outrage. While some called it dark humour, the internet wasn¡¯t having it.
Later, on February 10 Ranveer issued an apology saying comedy is not his forte, and he should have not said what he said.
The controversy soon turned legal when Guwahati Police filed an FIR against the YouTubers on February 11, citing charges of ¡°promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion.¡± The Maharashtra Cyber Department and Jaipur Police also jumped in, filing cases against them. With multiple FIRs mounting, Ranveer and Ashish Chanchlani approached the Supreme Court, seeking protection.
On February 12, as the backlash snowballed, Samay Raina took down the entire India¡¯s Got Latent series from his channel and issued a public apology. Ranveer followed suit, admitting that his comments were inappropriate. But the damage was already done.
Supreme Court¡¯s final word
On February 18, the SC granted interim protection from arrest to Ranveer while issuing notices to the Union of India, Maharashtra, and Assam. It also ensured that no further FIRs would be registered against him regarding the India¡¯s Got Latent episode.
For now, Ranveer is back in business, but with strict moral policing. The podcast will go on¡ªbut the real question is, can he keep it clean?
