Renowned YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia known as BeerBiceps is facing legal and public backlash for his controversial question about watching one’s parents have sex, which he asked on comedian Samay Raina’s show, “India’s Got Talent”. The Mumbai Police have visited Allahbadia’s residence, and a parliamentary panel is considering summoning him to address the issue.
