Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, widely known for his iconic role as Shaktimaan, has called for strict action against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia following explicit remarks made during his appearance on the comedy show India’s Got Latent. Khanna expressed his outrage over the incident on social media, describing the comments as highly inappropriate and offensive.
In his statement, Khanna emphasized that such behavior should not be tolerated and suggested that offenders like Allahbadia should face public humiliation as a form of punishment. He proposed an unconventional method where the individuals would be made to sit on a donkey with their faces painted black and paraded through the city, as a deterrent for similar actions in the future.
The controversy erupted when Allahbadia asked a contestant an inappropriate question on the show, leading to widespread backlash for its insensitivity and crudeness. In response to the uproar, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging the inappropriateness of his comment.
Khanna’s demand for strict action has ignited a debate about the boundaries of freedom of expression and the importance of responsible content on public platforms. The incident has also led to an investigation by the Mumbai Police and a summons from the National Commission for Women, further highlighting the seriousness of the matter.
