Cricketers Krunal Pandya (L), Hardik Pandya (C) and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia (R).
YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popular for his podcast BeerBiceps, has opened up about the toll the India's Got Latent controversy took on his personal and professional life — and the role cricketers Hardik and
Krunal Pandya
played in helping him navigate it.
Allahbadia, who faced severe backlash and legal trouble after making controversial remarks about parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's show, revealed that many celebrities who publicly claimed they would 'boycott' him were never invited in the first place.

The incident, which drew intense scrutiny, became a talking point even on his own podcast when actor Emraan Hashmi bluntly remarked, 'Everyone knows it.'
In a recent episode, Allahbadia shared how cricketers, Hardik and Krunal Pandya, offered guidance during this turbulent phase.
'Both Hardik and Krunal helped me a lot in this phase — I was talking to Hardik yesterday, I told him, 'Hey man, times are getting better.' He told me, 'Good, because times will get worse again, so just focus on process.' He has seen one downfall in his life and thought that was it, then he had the full booing situation last year — then he won the T20I World Cup for India.
He told me, just focus on the hard work and skills. None of the noise matters, good or bad,' Allahbadia recalled.
Hardik Pandya
had his own share of off-the-field controversy when his disparaging remarks on
Koffee with Karan
landed him in hot soup.
Since the controversy, Allahbadia has hosted prominent names like Boman Irani, Shruti Haasan, and Tara Sutaria, signalling a steady return to his regular podcast rhythm.
