Shenaz Treasury Says She Was Dropped From A Brand Deal After Ranveer Allahbadia Row

The 'India's Got Latent' row, triggered by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia's crass jokes on the show, caused massive outrage and appears to be having repercussions on India's influencer economy, which hugely relies on brand partnerships.

Shenaz Treasury Lost A Brand Deal:

Travel and lifestyle vlogger Shenaz Treasurywala has revealed that she lost a brand deal following India's Got Latent controversy.

"I was going to join hands with a platform - a marathon platform. They were offering equity. Following the Allahbadia controversy, they (the brand) called me and dropped me from the very upsetting project. They said they can't afford to have celebrities or influencers because look what happened with Allahbadia," she told Moneycontrol.

About the Controversy:

Ranveer Allahbadia is facing public outrage and a police investigation after he made an obscene remark on Samay Raina's YouTube show, India's Got Latent. The controversy began earlier this month when Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps, who has over eight million YouTube subscribers and 3.4 million followers on Instagram, made remarks to a participant on the comedy show about his parents' personal relationship.

On the show, Allahbadia asked a contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?"

The joke was quickly condemned by social media users, public figures, and political leaders. Allahbadia's crass remarks about parents and sex on Raina's show sparked massive outrage, leading to complaints from several persons.

Allahbadia, who has interviewed top political leaders and Bollywood celebrities on his YouTube channel, has since apologized for the comments. Raina, meanwhile, has removed all videos of the show from his YouTube channel and said he was “fully cooperating” with the authorities.
