Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has condemned YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia for his inappropriate remarks during a recent episode of the comedy show India's Got Latent. Speaking to the media on Monday, Fadnavis emphasised that comedians and influencers should maintain boundaries in their content, urging that action be taken against those who cross them.
Fadnavis stated, "Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, but this freedom ends where it infringes upon someone else's rights. What has been said and presented is completely wrong. Our society has established certain norms, and if these are violated, it becomes a serious matter."
A complaint has already been filed in Mumbai against Allahbadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, Samay, and the organisers of India's Got Latent. The complaint accuses them of promoting obscenity and using abusive language during the show.
The controversy arose after Ranveer asked a contestant an offensive question, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?" This remark drew widespread backlash on social media, with many calling for strict action against him. Fellow panellists Apoorva and Samay have also faced criticism for not condemning the remark.
Despite the backlash, India's Got Latent remains one of the most popular comedy shows, attracting several celebrities as guests.

Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.
The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.
The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.
“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.
“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.
Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.
Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.
Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.
“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
