YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, recently hit back at celebrities who claimed they turned down an invitation to appear on his show following the India's Got Latent controversy earlier this year. Calling out the claims, Ranveer clarified that many of those speaking out were never even invited in the first place.
In an interview with Prafful Garg, Ranveer recalled being upset and angry about such false claims of celebs.
"It was a feeding frenzy. Some celebrities claimed that they’d even rejected an invite to the show. The truth is that we never invited them in the first place. In such situations, I felt angry at human beings in general. But I realised that the predicament that I was in was a result of my own actions," he stated.

I got a forced break after a crazy, intense six-year podcasting journey. I'm just trying to move on; I've tried to forgive a lot of people, even myself, and to a degree, I've been successful."
Earlier, singer B Praak had publicly criticised Ranveer in the wake of the India's Got Latent controversy, declaring that he would not be making an appearance on the YouTuber's show.
What is the India's Got Latent Controversy?
Ranveer faced massive criticism after a clip from one of the episodes of Samay Raina's India's Got Latent went viral. He had asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or would you join in once and stop it forever?"
Post the criticism, the YouTuber issued an apology stating that there was a "lapse in judgement" and that comedy was not his forte.

He apologised and vowed to be more careful in the future.
