• Ranveer Allahbadia said that he is scared as he and his family are receiving death threats. “I’m watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family.

• The ‘BeerBiceps Guy’ apologised the day after a controversy erupted over his remarks, but the outrage refused to die down, forcing him to issue another apology last week. “I will follow due process and be available to all agencies. My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better and I am genuinely sorry,” he wrote on X.
• Comedian Gaurav kapoorduring one of his stand-up acts, addressed the controversy. He remarked, “Arre bhai, kya bhasad hogayi yaar! ITNI Badi Bhasad Toh Hai Bhi Nahi Yaar. Ho Gaya Yaar, Nikal Gaya Mooh Se Yaar (This has become such a big mess when it really isn’t that big. It happened, he messed up, move on).”
