Ranveer Allahbadia Talks About Meditation After 'India's Got Latent Row'; Here's What He Said

YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia recently opened up about meditation while interacting with actor Emraan Hashmi on his podcast. Allahbadia, who recently faced backlash for his comments on 'India's Got Latent', mentioned that meditation helps one in processing his thoughts while facing “challenges" in life.

Ranveer Allahbadia on Meditation:

Ranveer said, "Meditation is said to increase the distance between your thoughts and perception. Meaning that there is a smaller version of you inside your mind, your thoughts are coming out of your heart, rather than your subconscious mind. Everyone thinks that they are actually coming out of our mind but that's not true. It is an outcome of all your memories, and life experiences. Because of meditation, that micro version of you goes away and is able to check those thoughts."

He added, "Honestly, when you face challenges in life, that's when you understand the value of it."

About 'India's Got Latent Controversy':

Ranveer Allahbadia had been embroiled in controversy after an episode of 'India's Got Latent', where he posed an offensive question to a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?" Though the panel, including Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani, laughed off the comment, it triggered a massive backlash online and led to multiple FIRs against Ranveer and the show's makers.

The controversy escalated when the National Commission for Women (NCW) stepped in, and Ranveer was forced to submit a written apology. The Supreme Court later granted him interim protection from arrest but called his remarks “vulgar" and accused him of having a “dirty mind" that shamed society.

Ranveer recently made his comeback with his podcasts when he addressed “dear India" in a video statement and urged everyone to give him “another chance". “We will improve our podcast quality, and like every week, 4 episodes will come, focusing on India's rich history, culture, and personal growth topics," he said.
