He added that Indian society has certain norms, and violating them is absolutely wrong, underscoring the need for appropriate action.

Fans react

Reactions from social media users were swift. One commented, “Freedom of speech is a double-edged sword. Sadly, it sometimes allows for the propagation of mediocrity and shock value masquerading as content.” Another user suggested, “People show their true colors on shows like these. Ranveer has done nothing that he isn’t comfortable with; his mask has simply slipped.”

One user on X expressed, “This is neither comedy nor adult humour; it’s a sick perversion!” Congress leader Supriya Shrinate also condemned Allahbadia’s remarks, stating, “This isn’t creative. It’s perverse. Normalizing such behaviour is concerning, especially when a sick comment is met with loud applause.”

No reaction from Beer Biceps, The Rebel Kid or Samay Raina

So far, neither Ranveer Allahbadia nor any other creators involved in the episode have publicly commented on the controversy. Notably, at last year’s National Creators Award held in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented Allahbadia with the title of ‘Disruptor of the Year.’
