February 13, 2025- As controversy swirls around his alleged inappropriate remark on India’s Got Latent, YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia has found himself at the center of social media debates. A viral clip showing Allahbadia, popularly known as the BeerBiceps Guy, breaking down in tears has been widely circulated with claims that he was lamenting lost work due to the backlash.
However, the truth tells a different story. The viral video is not recent but from three years ago, during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the time, Allahbadia had tested positive for the virus and posted an emotional video about his experience. The original clip even begins with him taking a Covid-19 test, stating, "Hi guys, I just tested positive for Covid."
Despite its old origins, the resurfaced video has been misinterpreted amid the current controversy. While Allahbadia has yet to comment on the allegations related to India’s Got Latent, social media continues to debate the situation, with many calling for clarity before jumping to conclusions.
