Ranveer Allahbadia Criticised After ‘Pak Brothers & Sisters’ Post; Deletes Later
YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia has once again found himself in the midst of a controversy, this time after a now-deleted Instagram post that has sparked outrage among many. The post, which has been described as an “apology” to “Pakistani brothers and sisters”, has been widely criticized for being tone-deaf and insensitive.
The post, which has since been deleted, read: “I want to take a moment to acknowledge the feelings of my Pakistani brothers and sisters. I know that some Indians have been spreading hate and negativity towards Pakistan and its people. I want to apologize if any of that has made you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. I understand that our countries may have had their differences in the past, but I believe that we can work towards a better future. I’m not perfect, and I’m willing to learn and grow. I hope that my apology finds you well.”
However, many people on social media have slammed Ranveer’s post, accusing him of being insincere and tone-deaf. Several users took to Twitter to express their outrage, with some calling for a boycott of his podcast and others labeling his words as an “insult” to the Armed Forces of India.
One user tweeted: “This guy is a joke! He’s apologizing to Pakistanis for spreading hate, but where was this apology when our soldiers were being martyred by Pakistan? #BoycottRanveerAlahbadia”
Another user wrote: “Ranveer Allahbadia’s apology is a joke! He’s trying to curry favor with the Pakistani audience, but it’s clear that he has no respect for our nation or our armed forces. #ShameOnRanveerAlahbadia”
Ranveer’s post comes just a few weeks after he was embroiled in another controversy, this time over his podcast “India’s Got Latent”. The podcast, which featured a conversation with comedian and writer, Tanmay Bhat, sparked outrage among many who felt that the two were spreading hate and misinformation about various social and political issues.
The controversy surrounding Ranveer’s post has also led to renewed calls for accountability from the Indian entertainment industry. Many have argued that Ranveer’s words and actions are a reflection of the lack of accountability and responsibility shown by many in the industry.
As the controversy surrounding Ranveer’s post continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether he will face any consequences for his actions. However, one thing is clear: Ranveer’s apology has not gone down well with many, and his words have been widely criticized as insincere and tone-deaf.
Ranveer Allahbadia has yet to respond to the backlash surrounding his post, but it is clear that the controversy has sparked a much-needed conversation about accountability and responsibility in the Indian entertainment industry.
