Amid the backlash over his controversial remarks on a roast show, YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has issued a public apology, acknowledging his mistake and admitting that “comedy is not my forte.” The 31-year-old took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his regret, posting a message that read, “I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s Got Latent. I’m sorry.”
In a video message accompanying the post, Allahbadia admitted that his comment was not only inappropriate but also lacked humor. “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry,” he said.
He also addressed concerns from his followers, many of whom questioned whether he intended to use his platform in such a manner. “Obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context, justification, or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgment. It wasn’t cool on my part,” he added.
Acknowledging the wide reach of his podcast, Allahbadia emphasized the responsibility that comes with his audience. “The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don’t want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly, and family is the last thing I would ever disrespect,” he concluded.
