'Itni jaldi kaun sorry bolta hai': Comedian Gaurav Kapoor jokes about Ranveer Allahbadia's controversy as video goes viral

YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's controversial remarks about parents continue to generate discussion, but have also provided material for comedians. Comedian Gaurav Kapoor recently joked about Allahbadia’s swift apology following the controversy and subsequent FIRs (First Information Reports).

Gaurav Kapoor said, "Arre bhai kya bhasad hogai yaar. Itni badi bhasad toh hai bhi nahi yaar. Ho gaya yaar, nikal gaya mooh se yaar (It's become such a big mess when it isn’t even that big. It’s fine, they messed up)." He added, "Mujhe gire pe laat marna accha nahi lagta par ek baar maar dete hain. Waise Ranveer jo bhai hain, 12 baje controversy hui, 2 baje apology dedi. 2 ghante mein? Itni jaldi toh main apne papa ko sorry nhi bolta (I don’t like to kick someone who has tripped, but let’s do it this once. Ranveer apologized just two hours after the controversy came to light. I don’t apologize to my dad so quickly)."

Kapoor further commented, "Abe rukja bhootni ke, lawyer ko dede thoda paisa. Baat karle lawyer se, samajh le kya bolna hai (Wait a minute! Pay a lawyer and consult them first)." His video gained traction online, with users reacting positively.

Ranveer Allahabadia Controversy

The backlash began when Ranveer Allahbadia posed an inappropriate question to a contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?" The remark led to widespread criticism on social media, with discussions emerging on the boundaries of comedy and obscenity.

Political leaders from various parties condemned the comment and demanded action against the podcaster. The National Commission for Women summoned Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, and the producers of India's Got Latent to appear on February 17 over the derogatory remarks. Additionally, Assam police registered a case against Allahbadia and others, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, and Samay Raina.

Allahbadia Apologised for his Comment

Following the public outrage, Allahbadia issued an apology through a video message on X, formerly known as Twitter. He said, "I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s Got Latent. I’m sorry... My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry."

Last week, Samay Raina also addressed the controversy for the first time, announcing that he had removed all India's Got Latent videos from his YouTube channel. He stated, "Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you."
