Ranveer Allahbadia's latest incident has elicited heated reactions from celebrities across a variety of businesses. Many people have resorted to social media to share their views, with some criticising and others justifying his words. Actors Ayesha Khan, Umar Riaz, and Rajiv Adatia, among others, shared their thoughts.
Asim Riaz's brother, Umar Riaz, informed him of the FIR filed against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Makhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. With the news came his thoughts. He wrote, “Always been a fan of dark humor, but the latest samay raina #IGT act felt like it crossed a line into obscenity. Progressive free speech win? Or a step too far into vulgarity? Comedy thrives on edge, but this one missed the mark for me. Curious what others think!”
Rajiv Adatia, who is now featured on Celebrity MasterChef, voiced his opinion, condemning the comedians. He wrote, “Parents are our Gods!! Disgusted by what I saw!!” He also mentioned being disgusted seeing the clips of India’s Got Latent.
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin's Manasi Salvi wrote, “And they attack, mock television drama content. A content that can be watched in the space of your living room with your parents. Also most film people who are unable to thrive in their film careers, turn to TV to stay relevant and earn money., That’s the power of #IndianTelevision.”
While, Abhinav Shukla even ran a poll asking the viewers to share their opinions, he wrote, “Talk Shit Get Hit really works. Who to blame? shit talkers or shit watchers?”
Bigg Boss 17's Ayesha Khan also expressed her views on the controversial statement, “Problems we are facing- terrible roads, massive traffic jams, air pollution, general safety, Dark comedy on a dark comedy platform. SOLUTION– action to be taken on the most serious topic, varna kahi development na ruk jaye. Only if there was similar outrage for problems bigger than this in the country.”
As the debate heats up, well-known figures speak out on the impact of such content and the role of influencers in the digital arena. Government authorities, including the National Human Rights Commission, have asked for the removal of such content from platforms such as YouTube. According to recent sources, Parliament may call Ranveer Allahbadia and others.
