Long before facing boycott calls, Ranveer Allahbadia had hosted some of Bollywood’s biggest stars on his YouTube show. However, things took a turn after
the India’s Got Latent controversy, which triggered widespread backlash. Now, as he resumes celebrity interviews, the podcaster has voiced his disappointment with those who claimed they turned down his show during the IGL row, despite never being invited. Ranveer Allahbadia Shuts Down Bollywood Celebs During a conversation with Prafful Garg on an episode of Mission India, he said, "It was a feeding frenzy. Some celebrities claimed that they’d even rejected an invite to the show. The truth is that we never invited them in the first place. In such situations, I felt angry at human beings in general. But I realised that the predicament that I was in was a result of my own actions." He added, “I couldn't change the past, but I could change the future. I got a forced break after a crazy, intense six-year podcasting journey. I'm just trying to move on; I've tried to forgive a lot of people, even myself, and to a degree, I've been successful."
