Mumbai: Amid the backlash and legal woes, a new side to YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s crass ‘sex’ joke controversy has come to light.
A person who was among the audience during the controversial episode of India’s Got Latent, has opened up about what exactly happened on the show.
“I was present in that episode aur mujhe pata hai kya hua. I was in audience. That kid came, bak***di hui, Ranveer said that joke. After saying that joke, Ranveer, like usne 3-4 baar bola rahega ‘sorry aapko bura toh nahi laga’. I know a ‘sorry’ doesn’t fix everything, but still he was like assuring that the kid was comfortable. Uske baad bhi thodi der woh bachha thodi baatein waatein kari. And then Samay ne bhi usko bola ki ‘are you okay with…’. Uske baad, yeh sab hone ke baad, that kid also won the show,” the man says in a video, which he shared online.
He added, “Usko tabhi bhi yahi bola, ki like when he won toh sab aise celebrate karne gaye and Ranveer uske paas gaya and usko hug kiya ‘bhai you okay? You look good. Sorry if you felt aisa woh joke ke liye’. Samay ne bhi bola ‘you killed it bhai, crazy’ and all. Toh bas yahi bol raha hun, ki yaar bin baat ka hate nahi failao yaar.”
As soon as this video went viral, netizens started defending Ranveer.
One fan shared, “People spreading hate need to know this so bad 😭.”
Another internet user opined, “Thank you for this. The hate is so unnecessary.”
