Public Outrage and Criticism

Several social media users condemned Ranveer Allahbadia’s question, calling it inappropriate and distasteful. Many felt that such content should not be available to young audiences. Veteran journalist and lyricist Neelesh Misra strongly criticized the creators for normalizing such content, calling them "perverted creators shaping India's creative economy." He also pointed out that such shows, despite their mature themes, are easily accessible to children due to social media algorithms.

“Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life — or would you join in once and stop it forever?”

Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also reacted to the controversy, stating that this was not creativity but perversion. She added that the audience's reaction—cheering and laughing—was deeply concerning.

This isn’t creative. It’s pervert. And we can’t normalise perverse behaviour as cool. The fact that this sick comment met loud applause must worry us all. https://t.co/tZQNnZuIhF

Calls for Action Against Such Content

Others expressed disappointment in Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan for inviting Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, Bhuvan Bam, and Kamiya Jani to Kaun Banega Crorepati, questioning the platform given to such creators.

The controversy has reignited discussions about content responsibility on social media and whether shock value is being prioritized over decency in the digital entertainment space.
