What B Praak said

B Praak has criticised Ranveer Allahbadia's remark on India's Got Latent.

Taking to his Instagram, B Praak posted a video message where he said in Hindi, “I was supposed to appear on a podcast, on Beer Biceps, and we cancelled that. Why? Since we are all seeing how pathetic his thinking is. The choice of words that he has used on Samay Raina's show.”

‘This is not at all comedy’

The singer called out the pathetic thinking of Ranveer and said how is he preaching spirituality on his podcast. He requested the comedians on the show not to promote this. He said that the YouTuber should promote Indian culture and values through his content and requested that it must not harm the future generation.

A formal complaint has already been registered against Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, and the organisers of the show India’s Got Latent. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said that freedom of expression had its limits, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said that she would raise the issue in the parliament.
