Gaurav Kapoor Mocks Ranveer Allahbadia’s Quick Apology Over Controversial Remarks
The ongoing controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks on India’s Got Latent has sparked reactions from various quarters, including comedians. One of the most notable responses comes from Gaurav Kapoor, who humorously addressed the situation in a recent stand-up video. Kapoor, known for his witty and unfiltered style, critiqued Allahbadia’s apology, suggesting that the influencer was too quick to backtrack after his controversial comments, which had led to multiple FIRs.
The Controversy Unfolds
The controversy started when Ranveer Allahbadia made an inappropriate comment during an episode of India’s Got Latent, a show hosted by comedian Samay Raina. The remark sparked outrage across social media, prompting widespread backlash. As the controversy snowballed, Raina deleted the episode, and Allahbadia quickly issued an apology. However, his swift response raised eyebrows, and it wasn’t long before other comedians, including Gaurav Kapoor, started commenting on the incident.
Gaurav Kapoor’s Take on the Apology
In his stand-up video, Gaurav Kapoor sarcastically remarked that Ranveer Allahbadia’s apology was issued far too hastily. “Mujhe gire pe laat marna accha nahi lagta par ek baar maar dete hain. Waise Ranveer jo bhai hain, 12 baje controversy hui, 2 baje apology dedi. 2 ghante mein? Itnijaldi toh main apne papa ko sorry nahi bolta (I don’t like kicking someone when they’re down, but let’s do it once. Ranveer apologized just two hours after the controversy came to light. I don’t even apologize to my dad that quickly),” Kapoor joked, highlighting the speed with which Allahbadia had issued his apology.
Kapoor humorously continued by suggesting that Allahbadia could have taken a more thoughtful approach and consulted a lawyer before issuing his apology. “Abe rukja bhootni ke, lawyer ko dede thoda paisa. Baat karle lawyer se, samajh le kya bolna hai (Wait a minute! Pay a lawyer and consult them first),” he quipped, pointing out that a hasty apology might have contributed to the mess.
Kapoor’s Observations on Apology Culture
Gaurav Kapoor also commented on the nature of apologies in the public sphere, joking that someone from Mumbai, like Allahbadia, might be more inclined to apologize quickly than someone from Delhi, who would typically refuse to admit fault. His playful criticism continued as he speculated that Allahbadia, had he been around during British colonial rule, might have sided with the British after a single reprimand.
Fans of Kapoor appreciated his ability to turn the controversy into comedy material. “Aapda ko aavsar me badal diya bhai ne,” one fan wrote, praising his quick adaptation to the situation. Another fan noted, “Bro cracked the whole controversy,” acknowledging Kapoor’s skillful comedic take on the issue.
The Fallout from the Controversy
The controversy surrounding Allahbadia’s comment has continued to dominate headlines. The influencer and other panelists from India’s Got Latent have faced legal consequences, with FIRs filed against them in both Maharashtra and Assam. Allahbadia himself has reportedly received death threats, and the matter has even made its way into Parliament, where lawmakers have called for stricter measures to address the incident and prevent similar situations in the future.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also taken notice of the issue and summoned Allahbadia, Raina, and other key figures involved in the controversy, including Mukhija, Jaspreet Singh, and Ashish Chanchlani, as well as the show’s producers. They are scheduled to appear before the NCW on February 17 in New Delhi.
Conclusion: Humor in the Midst of Controversy
Gaurav Kapoor’s humorous take on Ranveer Allahbadia’s apology provides a lighthearted perspective on a controversy that has captured the public’s attention. While the incident remains serious, with legal actions underway and national institutions involved, comedians like Kapoor are using their platform to offer satirical commentary on the situation. Kapoor’s jokes serve as a reminder of how humor can sometimes provide a refreshing lens through which to view even the most contentious issues.
