YouTuber-podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia finally addressed the India’s Got Latent controversy in his latest podcast, which is his first release after the row. During a candid conversation with the podcast guest Buddhist monk Palga Rinpoche, he revealed that the incident took a toll on his mental health. He also shared that the ordeal was an emotional ride and several people advised him to take a temporary break from content creation.

On Monday, Ranveer posted a new podcast on his YouTube channel in conversation with Palga Rinpoche. He said in Hindi, “My mental health took a toll at that time… I was trying to be reflective, thinking about what else I have done wrong apart from that remark. I was doing meditation and trying to calm down… My family was hurt, and I was heartbroken. During that phase, I had to handle myself, my family, and my team. I kept asking myself, ‘What just happened?’ So many losses, I hurt family members, and things that I had to endure.”

“I’m undergoing self-reflection, but I still haven’t found the answers. The approach for transformation is to learn from mistakes and move forward… I will make Indians understand. My personal ambitions have taken a backseat. I’ve understood the world a lot in these three weeks. And I don’t mean this in a negative way. When such situations arise, people’s true character is revealed. I saw a lot of good in people too. My close friends and mentors stood by me, and even people I had never met before reached out to help. Some people said that I should take a break from content creation for 1-2 years because if something this bad has happened, it might be due to a long-term series of mistakes on my part. But I believe that I have reached this point through my actions and hard work. Toh agar iss daldal se nikalna hoga toh vo bhi action aur mehnat se hi hoga, I think (If I have to get out of this mess, it will also be through action and hard work),” he further added.

Ranveer Allahbadia aka Beer Biceps landed in a controversy after appearing in an episode of Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. During the episode, he asked a controversial 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 make it stop forever?” It received a lot of backlash, and many FIRs against the makers and people present on the episode.
