Popular social media personality Ranveer Allahbadia on Monday apologised for his controversial comment on a show, saying comedy is not his forte and described the whole episode as a “lapse in judgment”.
“My comment was not just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. Just here to say sorry,” Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, said in a video statement posted on his social media handles.
Allahbadia has been mercilessly trolled for his distasteful comment on parents and sex on Samay Raina’s “India’s Got Latent” show.
“Many of you asked if this how I wish to use my platform. Obviously, this is not how I wish to use my platform. I am not going to give any context, justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here for an apology. I, myself fell into the trap of a short-term lapse in judgment. It wasn't cool on my part." His podcast is viewed by all age group, and he doesn't want to be the kind of influence that takes this responsibility lightly, said the influencer.
“Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect. Need to use this platform better and that’s been my learning from this whole experience. I promise to just get better. Have asked the makers of the video to remove the insensitive sections from the video and all I can say in the end is sorry. I hope you can forgive me as a human being.”
