Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia has apologised for his remark and said: "My comment wasn't just inappropriate but was also not funny. Comedy is not my forte. I'm just here to say sorry... I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just offering an apology."
"I personally had a lapse in judgement, it wasn't cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages [so] I don't want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly," the young podcaster, who has interviewed the likes of union minister Nitin Gadkari, actress Priyanka Chopra, spiritual leader Sadhguru, cricket great Sourav Ganguly, said in a video message.
What is the controversy about?
During the latest episode of Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent, Ranveer asked a contestant about the size of his p***s and then asked him to suck his d**k.
Ranveer was heard saying in a viral video, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?"
Social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina and content creator Ashish Chanchlani, who were the co-panelists, were flabbergasted while they were laughing.
The remark has not only irked the social media users with several of them being his followers, an official complaint has been filed with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and Maharashtra Women's Commission against the podcaster.
