Apoorva Mukhija Apologizes to NCW Over Remarks
The apologies from Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Mukhija come as a response to the backlash against their comments, and the NCW's actions aim to ensure that such incidents do not recur, promoting a safer and more respectful online environment.
YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Mukhija appeared before the National Commission for Women, expressing regret for their offensive remarks on the online show "India's Got Latent" and assuring the commission of being more mindful in the future.
The controversy surrounding the show began when an FIR was filed on February 10 against several influencers and YouTubers, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija, for promoting obscenity through their participation. Ranveer Allahabadia had made a highly inappropriate comment during an episode of the show, which drew considerable backlash and led to a public apology from him, stating that his comment was not funny and he is committed to using his platform more responsibly.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned YouTube content creators Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Makhija over allegedly derogatory comments made on the show. The commission asked them pointed questions, including who organized the event and why they failed to prevent other panelists from making similar comments. Allahbadia and Makhija were interrogated for around 45-50 minutes each, and the Supreme Court has granted Allahbadia interim protection from arrest over his comments on the show.
The controversy has sparked a debate about content requirements on social media, with many calling for stricter regulations. The incident highlights the need for responsible content creation and the importance of adhering to decency and morality guidelines on online platforms.
