Actor Raza Murad speaks on Ranveer Allahbadia's controversy, says, "To what extent can one stoop for fame? There are comedians like Johnny Lever, Late Raju Srivastava, Kapil Sharma, did they ever use any abusive language? Rather, they are the most famous. You (Ranveer Allahabadia) talk about barging into your parents' bedroom?... The whole country is shocked... We are also to some extent guilty that we are tolerating such a show in which abusive language is openly used... Thankfully people took notice of it and action was taken against it... The society we live in considers parents as God and just to gain some attention, you talk about barging into their bedroom and using obscene words about them... What happened is against the law of the country, if you have been given freedom of speech, you cannot abuse anyone, spread obscenity, or defame anyone's character, and that too your mother's... Such shows should be banned... We will abide by the court's decision."

Priyanka Chaturvedi, "The chairman has been very cooperative regarding the I&T committee meeting. Earlier as well, we have done a comprehensive discussion on those misusing the platforms. Not just me, other members also feel the same that this is a topic of discussion. I hope those who breach decency and create controversies will be summoned."

BJD MP Sasmit Patra says, "I am a member of the parliamentary standing committee on Information and Communication Technology. As a member of this standing committee, I will be raising this issue...These kinds of issues need to be raised as extremely vulgar, cheap and poor statements have been made by the Youtuber/Influencer...I am hopeful that the committee will take it very seriously and ensure that strict action is taken..."
