In a recent episode of Prafful Garg’s Mission India, Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, commented on the matter and admitted that the situation angered him. "It was a feeding frenzy," he said. “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 added, “I couldn't change the past, but I could change the future. 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."

What happened on India’s Got Latent?

Allahbadia drew nationwide flak when he posed an inappropriate question to a contestant, which prompted audible gasps from the audience. He asked: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?"

Allahbadia, along with the host Raina and accompanying judges Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija, were all questioned by the Mumbai police, Assam police, and National Commission for Women (NCW).

The YouTuber later apologised, clarifying that he has no intention to use his public platform to make such comments. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he said, "My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I'm just here to say sorry...”
