Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy Sparks AICWA’s Call to Ban India’s Got Latent

AICWA Requests Prohibition of India’s Latent AICWA condemned the now-deleted viral incident, claiming that The Beer Bicep Guy’s remarks were not only disrespectful but also violated “societal and family values.”

Their statement read, “The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) vehemently condemns the reprehensible and offensive remarks made on the YouTube show India’s Got Latent, hosted by Samay Raina. In a recent episode, Ranveer Allahbadia, who participated in the show, unleashed abhorrent and vile statements that are deeply disrespectful to our societal and family values. Such disgraceful content is utterly unacceptable and poses a significant threat to the moral fabric of our society.”

“Representing the entire Indian film industry, AICWA officially boycotts India’s Got Latent. We call upon all actors, filmmakers, directors, and technicians to immediately cease any collaboration with individuals involved in this show, including host Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia. Henceforth, these individuals will receive no support from the Indian film industry,” the body added.

On the work front, Ranveer, who was awarded the Disruptor of the Year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex or join in once and stop it forever?”

He was blasted for the joke. While he has issued an apology after the complaint against him, Mukhija is yet to react to it.
