Shaktiman fame actor Mukesh Khanna has strongly criticised YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia for making ‘vulgar’ statements on comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent.
Khanna shared a nearly ten-minute video on his YouTube channel, Bheeshma International, where he condemned Ranveer’s remarks. Calling the comments a ‘serious offence,’ Mukesh Khanna asserted that such irresponsible statements should not be taken lightly and offenders should be severely punished.
“This is a serious offence. It should not be taken lightly. Offenders should be punished heavily to discourage people in future from making such ashleel and irresponsible statements. People need to ask, ‘Kya ho gaya hai mere desh ko?’” he remarked.
The Shaktimaan actor also expressed disappointment in the lack of opposition from others present during the conversation. “I saw the video. He made a shameful statement, and all of them present around him laughed. Nobody cared to object,” he lamented.
Khanna further suggested that excessive freedom among the youth has led to such issues. “The problem is the youth of today has been given too much liberty in the name of ‘Freedom of Expression’. There needs to be a limit to everything, even freedom of expression,” he stated.
Expressing his frustration, he added, “Mai agar Shaktiman hota toh ise pakad ke antariksh mein fek deta.” “Previously, kids used to have a subject called Moral Science in their schools. Today most of the schools don’t have it. Who decided it for them? This is the reason why these youths turn out to be like this? There is a line between comedy and vulgarity, and this line is being crossed constantly in the name of comedy.” he added.
“ काला मुंह करके गधे पर बिठा का उन्हें शहर भर में घुमाओ “, he said in social media.
The actor also addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his video, questioning his vision of India as a ‘young nation.’ He urged the government to take strict action by setting up an “Ashleel Control Board” to regulate inappropriate content.
Khanna concluded by questioning the acceptability of offensive remarks in roasting culture, stating, “I don’t think anything morally wrong should be allowed.”
Earlier, YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps,’ issued a public apology following widespread backlash over inappropriate and offensive remarks made during a recent episode of India’s Got Latent. The controversy erupted after Allahbadia’s crude questions and comments shocked viewers, leading to formal complaints against him and others involved in the show.
Multiple complaints have been filed against Allahbadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the organisers of India’s Got Latent over the objectionable content in the episode. The incident has sparked significant outrage on social media, with many calling for strict action against the individuals responsible.
The Centre issued an order directing the removal of the controversial episode from YouTube. The episode, which featured Allahbadia and Raina, is no longer available on the platform.
