Ranveer Allahbadia Criticised After ‘Pak Brothers & Sisters’ Post; Deletes Later
YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia has found himself in the midst of another controversy, with his latest Instagram post sparking outrage and criticism from many. The post, which has since been deleted, addressed Pakistan’s “brothers and sisters” and apologised if any of them felt that Indians were spreading hate. However, the move was met with widespread backlash, with many calling for a boycott of his podcast and labelling his words as an insult to the Armed Forces of India.
Allahbadia, who gained fame for his podcast “The Ranveer Show”, has been at the centre of controversy before. His previous video, titled “India’s Got Latent”, had sparked a heated debate on social media, with some accusing him of spreading hate speech. However, this latest post has taken the controversy to a new level.
In the post, Allahbadia apologised if any Pakistani felt that Indians were spreading hate. He wrote, “If any Pakistani brother/sister is feeling that Indians are spreading hate, I want to apologize to you. I know it’s not the case. I know we’re all human beings.” However, the post was widely condemned, with many calling it an attempt to appease Pakistan’s sentiments.
Several social media users took to Twitter to express their outrage, calling for a boycott of Allahbadia’s podcast. Many accused him of being a “traitor” and “anti-national”. Some even went as far as to label him a “Pakistani sympathiser”.
One Twitter user wrote, “Ranveer Allahbadia’s apology to Pakistani brothers and sisters is an insult to the Indian Armed Forces. He should be ashamed of himself.” Another user added, “Boycott Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast. He’s a shame to the Indian nation.”
The backlash was not limited to social media. Many influencers and content creators have also spoken out against Allahbadia’s post, calling it a betrayal of the nation.
So, what exactly went wrong? Why did Allahbadia’s post spark such outrage? One possible reason is that India and Pakistan have a long history of tension and conflict. The two countries have fought several wars, and there is still a significant amount of hostility between them. In this context, Allahbadia’s attempt to apologised to Pakistan’s “brothers and sisters” came across as an attempt to appease Pakistan’s sentiments, rather than a genuine gesture of peace.
Another reason why the post sparked outrage is that it was seen as an insult to the Indian Armed Forces. Many Indians believe that the Indian Army has made significant sacrifices to defend the nation, and any attempt to undermine their efforts or apologised for the actions of the Pakistani government is seen as an insult.
In the aftermath of the controversy, Allahbadia has deleted the post, but the damage has already been done. His podcast’s reputation has taken a hit, and many are now questioning his credentials as a content creator.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Allahbadia will recover from this setback. Will he be able to regain the trust of his audience, or will this controversy mark the end of his career as a content creator?
