Gaurav Kapoor mocks Ranveer Allahbadia's quick apology in 'Latent' row
What's the story
Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has found himself in legal trouble over his controversial comments on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent. The comments resulted in multiple FIRs against him.
Following the backlash, Allahbadia issued an apology, calling it a "lapse in judgment."
However, this prompt apology video might have snowballed things for the podcaster, opined comedian Gaurav Kapoor during a stand-up show, a clip of which is going viral now.
Stand-up commentary
'Who apologizes within two hours?'
Kapoor jokingly said, "Mujhe gire pe laat marna accha nahi lagta par ek baar maar dete hain (I don't like kicking someone when they're down but let's do it once)."
"Waise Ranveer jo bhai hain, 12 baje controversy hui, 2 baje apology dedi. Do ghante mein? Itni jaldi toh main apne papa ko sorry nahi bolta (About Ranveer, the controversy happened at 12 and he apologized by 2. In two hours? I don't even apologize to my father that quickly)."
Legal advice
Kapoor suggested legal consultation before apologizing
Kapoor further advised Allahbadia to consult a lawyer before issuing an apology.
He humorously suggested, "Abe rukja, lawyer ko dede thoda paisa. Baat karle lawyer se, samajh le kya bolna hai (Hold on dude, give some money to the lawyer. Talk to the lawyer and understand what you have to say)."
He also expressed his belief that the controversy surrounding Latent has been blown out of proportion by the public and media alike.
