Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, deletes all her Instagram posts following India’s Got Latent controversy, Ranveer Allahbadia’s ‘rebirth’

On March 30, Ranveer uploaded a video titled “Let’s Talk” on his YouTube channel, offering a candid reflection on his time away from content creation and the challenges he has faced following the controversy surrounding the India’s Got Latent episode. During the video, Allahbadia expressed his gratitude to supporters who stood by him throughout this difficult phase.

“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 said. The influencer also acknowledged the outpouring of support from his family, friends, and colleagues, including several high-profile figures who reached out during the crisis.

In his video message, Ranveer reflected on the period of forced hiatus, which he described as an opportunity for growth and learning. “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,” he said. He emphasised that, in the future, he would use his platform more responsibly, especially in light of his significant influence on younger audiences.

Despite the controversy, Ranveer expressed optimism about the future. “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,” he said. He also spoke of his deep passion for content creation, particularly podcasting, and his commitment to producing high-quality content that explores India’s rich history and culture.

The video concluded with a promise of a “new Ranveer” as he embarks on this next phase of his career. “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,” he said, adding, “In this TRS restarting phase, all the people who have supported us so far, I have only one request. If possible, please make space for me in your heart. Give me one more chance.”

On March 7, Ranveer appeared before the Crime Branch of the Guwahati Police Commissionerate as part of an ongoing investigation into the show. An FIR was filed by the Guwahati Police on February 10, accusing several prominent influencers, including Ranveer, Apoorva, Samay Raina, and Ashish Chanchlani of promoting obscenity through their participation in the controversial show. Apoorva submitted an apology to the NCW for comments made on the show. “Keeping the social impact in mind, they were issued notices. They came before the commission and expressed deep regret. They said they should not have spoken in such a manner and have now submitted ‘maafinama’ (written apology),” NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar said.

The FIR raised concerns about indecent representation of women and other objectionable content. Taking responsibility for his actions, Ranveer earlier acknowledged his mistake during the show, specifically referring to a comment on parents’ intimacy he made that attracted heavy criticism. “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry,” he said in a previous apology video. His return to content creation comes after the Supreme Court granted him permission to resume his podcast, albeit with strict guidelines to ensure that future content adheres to standards of decency and morality.
