Months after being embroiled in a national controversy over a crass remark on a comedy show, YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) has finally addressed the death threat issued to him by actor and former WWE wrestler Saurav Gurjar. In a recent Instagram video, Allahbadia took a light-hearted approach to the situation, recalling his disbelief when he first saw Gurjar’s threatening message.
The Reaction: “Bheem Was My Favorite”
In the video shared on Saturday, December 27, 2025, Ranveer recalled his reaction to Gurjar’s open warning.
- Childhood Nostalgia: “Saurav Gurjar? He used to play Bheem in Mahabharat. Bheem was my favorite character. I was like, Saurav bro, you? Bheem will beat me now?” Ranveer said while laughing.
- The Invite: Despite the gravity of the threat, Ranveer expressed interest in a conversation. “I will call him [on the podcast] because he used to like that old Mahabharat. I like Bheem a lot… as long as he promises not to hit me,” he joked.
The Backstory: What Did Saurav Gurjar Say?
Earlier in February 2025, Saurav Gurjar (known in WWE as Sanga) posted a fiery video on X (formerly Twitter) demanding strict government action against Allahbadia.
- The Threat: Gurjar stated that Allahbadia’s behavior was “unforgivable” and warned that if they ever crossed paths, “no one can save him from me.”
- The Concern: Gurjar argued that such remarks “spoil our society and religion” and that influencers must be held legally accountable to save the next generation from “vulgar” content.
Recap: The ‘India’s Got Latent’ Storm
The controversy stems from an episode of Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent, where Ranveer Allahbadia was a guest judge.
- The Remark: Ranveer posed a highly explicit and controversial question to a contestant involving their parents having sex.
- The Fallout: The clip went viral, leading to multiple FIRs and public condemnation.
- Supreme Court Involvement: In March 2025, the matter reached the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Surya Kant expressed strong disapproval of the remarks, famously noting that “fundamental rights are not provided on a platter” and criticizing youngsters for being “oversmart” in the name of free speech.
What’s Next for Allahbadia?
Since the incident, Ranveer has issued a public apology, admitting that “comedy is not my forte” and promising to be more responsible with his platform. While his subscriber growth took a temporary hit, his podcast, The Ranveer Show, continues to remain one of India’s top-ranking audio shows as he transitions back to his core “spiritual and self-improvement” niche.
