National: YouTuber and content creator Ranveer Allahbadia has restarted his popular podcast, The Ranveer Show, after a hiatus caused by the backlash surrounding his involvement in the India’s Got Latent controversy.
On March 30, Allahbadia released a video titled “Let’s Talk” on his YouTube channel, where he candidly addressed his time away from content creation and the personal challenges he faced.
In the video, Allahbadia expressed gratitude to his supporters, stating:
“Namaste friends, first of all, I would like to say thank you to all the supporters and all the well-wishers. Your positive messages helped me and my family a lot because this phase was very difficult.”
He described the break as an opportunity for personal growth, saying:
“I have released two to three videos every week for the last 10 years without taking a break. I got a forced break. Learned to live with patience.”
Allahbadia also reaffirmed his commitment to responsible content creation, promising:
“In the next 10, 20, 30 years, as long as I create content, I will create content with more responsibility. This is my promise to you.”
The controversy erupted earlier this year when India’s Got Latent faced severe criticism for explicit content. Allahbadia, along with other influencers, was named in an FIR filed on February 10, accusing them of promoting obscenity through their participation in the show.
On March 7, he appeared before the Guwahati Crime Branch for questioning. Following the backlash, Allahbadia publicly apologized, admitting:
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry.”
The Supreme Court granted Allahbadia permission to resume his podcast, provided he adheres to standards of decency and morality.
As he embarks on this new phase, Allahbadia seeks continued support from his audience, stating:
“After this full stop, I am trying to write a new story. I hope that you, all of us, my whole team, support me in this new phase.”
