Ranveer Allahbadia Criticised After ‘Pak Brothers & Sisters’ Post; Deletes Later
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia has been at the center of yet another controversy, this time for his now-deleted Instagram post that addressed “Pakistani brothers and sisters”. The post, which has since been taken down, saw Ranveer apologising to any Pakistani who may have felt that Indians were spreading hate. However, the move has not gone down well with many on social media, with several calling for a boycott of his podcast and labelling his words as an insult to the Armed Forces of India.
The controversy comes on the heels of Ranveer’s previous controversy, which was sparked by his “India’s Got Latent” video, where he made some comments that many felt were insensitive and hurtful to the Indian community. While Ranveer has since apologised for his actions, it seems that he is still struggling to navigate the complexities of social media and the impact of his words on his audience.
In the now-deleted post, Ranveer wrote, “I want to address a very important topic… I want to apologize to all the Pakistani brothers and sisters if any Indian has ever made them feel that we are spreading hate. I know that we have a lot of love and respect for each other, and I want to assure you that we are not spreading hate.”
However, many on social media have taken exception to Ranveer’s words, with some calling them a slap in the face to the Indian Armed Forces. “This is an insult to the Indian Armed Forces who have fought and sacrificed their lives for the country,” wrote one user on Twitter. “Ranveer Allahbadia, you should be ashamed of yourself.”
Another user wrote, “Ranveer Allahbadia’s apology to Pakistani brothers and sisters is a joke. He should be apologising to the Indian people who have been affected by his previous videos.” Others have called for a boycott of Ranveer’s podcast, saying that his actions are not in line with the values of the platform.
Ranveer’s decision to delete the post has not stopped the backlash, with many calling for him to issue a formal apology for his actions. “Ranveer Allahbadia, you should take responsibility for your actions and issue a formal apology,” wrote one user. “Deleting the post is not enough, you need to acknowledge the harm that you have caused and make amends.”
The controversy has also raised questions about the role of social media influencers like Ranveer Allahbadia. While they have the power to reach a large audience, they also have a responsibility to be mindful of the impact of their words and actions. “As social media influencers, we have a responsibility to be respectful and considerate of all communities,” wrote one user. “Ranveer Allahbadia’s actions are a reminder that we need to be more mindful of the impact of our words and actions.”
In conclusion, Ranveer Allahbadia’s now-deleted post has sparked a major controversy, with many calling for a boycott of his podcast and labelling his words as an insult to the Armed Forces of India. While Ranveer has deleted the post, it is clear that the damage has already been done. As social media influencers, we need to be mindful of the impact of our words and actions, and strive to be respectful and considerate of all communities.
