The actress has reportedly unfollowed Allahbadia on Instagram. The popular podcaster has landed in controversy following his remarks on India's Got Latent.

On the show, he had asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever."

His comments have met with widespread criticism from the public and politicians. Meanwhile, two-time Oscar Award-winning musician AR Rahman has taken a potshot at the YouTuber.

At the audio launch function of the period drama Chhaava, AR Rahman reportedly made a gesture of mouth closed and said, "This past week we have all seen what all happens when mouth opens."

Also, singer B Praak has cancelled his appearance on Allahbadia's show.

However, he has lent an apology over the comments and said, "I shouldn't have said what I said on India's Got Latent. I'm sorry... My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry."

Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Friday said the plea of influencer Ranveer Allahbadia against the FIRs lodged against him over controversial comments.

A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, along with Justice Sanjay Kumar, informed Allahbadia's counsel, Abhinav Chandrachud, that oral mentioning of cases for urgent listing was not permitted.

"I have assigned the bench and it will come up (before a bench) in two-three days," the CJI said when Chandrachud submitted that the Assam police has summoned Allahbadia for joining the probe during the day.

On the other hand, an Assam police team has travelled to Pune to serve a summons to Raina in connection with a complaint filed in Guwahati. The case, registered on Monday by a local resident, alleges the show promoted obscenity in a publicly accessible online space.

Besides Allahbadia and Raina, other individuals named in the Assam FIR include Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija.

Earlier, Mumbai police had directed Allahbadia to appear at Khar police station, while another complaint was filed against him in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The Maharashtra Cyber Department has also taken action, filing a case under relevant IT Act provisions and requesting the removal of all 18 episodes of the comedy show.
