During a live show, Ranveer Allahbadia's remark about parents triggered a massive row. Multiple FIRs were filed against him, as well as show host Samay Raina.
The podcaster later issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were not proper.

"My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry," Allahbadia said.
He also requested people to stop sending death threats to him and his family after people entered his mother's clinic posing as patients.
The Supreme Court has provided Allahbadia with interim protection but has seized his passport until the probe into the remarks is over. They noted that his remarks were “vulgar” and had asked him to cease airing his podcast, ‘The Ranveer Show’, while the probe was underway.
On March 3, the court allowed Allahbadia to continue airing his podcast on the promise that he would maintain “morality and decency.”
