Are celebs trying to save face by cancelling their appearance at BeerBiceps?

While we don't know about the brands, it is true the celebs are criticising the YouTuber and cancelling their appearance at his show. The first celeb to do so is singer B Praak. On Monday, he shared a video, where he can be heard bashing the YouTuber, citing that he has a problem.  "I was about to go for a podcast on BeerBiceps and we canceled that because of the kind of pathetic thinking, and the kind of words used on Samay Raina's show," he began his video.

He continued, "This is not our Indian culture. What kind of things you are sharing about your parents? Is this comedy? This is not at all comedy. This cannot be stand-up comedy. Teaching people cuss words! I do not understand what generation is this. A Sardarji also comes on the show. Sardarji, you know you are a Sikh, do these things look good? What kind of teachings are you giving? He even puts clips on his Instagram, saying - Yes I abuse, what is the problem with that? Well, we do have a problem with that."

Bashing Ranveer Allahbadia, B Praak said, "You promote Sanatan Dharm, you talk about spirituality, such big names come to your show, and you have such a mentality? I request you all - If we are not able to stop this now, the future of our kids is in danger."

Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia issued a half-hearted apology soon after the netizens rose in uproar over his remark. It is left to see, of Information Technology will take any action or not against the lewd content.
