We've all been enjoying glimpses of Urvashi Rautela's life as she makes the media rounds for her new film Daaku Maharaaj, but the actress has now made an unexpected move by canceling one of her planned appearances. Rautela is the latest celebrity to distance herself from YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, following the controversy surrounding his comments on Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent. Reports suggest that Urvashi was set to appear on Ranveer’s popular podcast BeerBiceps, but in light of the backlash over his remarks on Raina's comedy show, she chose to withdraw from the episode. According to News18, Rautela has also unfollowed Ranveer on Instagram, though she has yet to publicly address her decision.

Why did she cancel?

The controversy started when Ranveer, also known as BeerBiceps, made an inappropriate joke on India’s Got Latent, asking a provocative question about parents and intimacy. The comment, made during an episode featuring guests like Ashish Chanchlani, Samay Raina, and Apoorva Mukhija, quickly sparked widespread criticism from viewers and social media users.

Netizens react

Urvashi’s decision sparked a flood of reactions online, with netizens using humor and sarcasm to comment on her move. Many joked about her past fondness for grand titles, with comments like, “First woman to cancel a podcast appearance,” and “Do you mean First youngest Asian woman in this entire solar system?” One user humorously remarked, “First non-nepo lead Bollywood actress to cancel a Ranveer show in 2025… dabidi dibidi dabidi dibidi dabidi dibidi.” Others expressed disappointment at missing what they expected to be an interesting episode, with one user saying, “Naaah, the content goldmine I was waiting to see, hellll to the naaaaaah. I mean, this was straight up Urvashi’s forte, damn even Urvashi has to make a line XD.” Another added, “I wouldn’t have minded seeing this one though. Would have been fun all the way.”

In response to the ongoing controversy, Ranveer has issued a public apology, stating via Instagram that he will cooperate with the relevant authorities.
