‘John Abraham called after kaand’: Ranveer Allahbadia reveals celeb names who stood by him during ‘India’s Got Latent’ row

Farah Khan recently featured podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia in her latest vlog. During their chat, Ranveer revisited a tough chapter from his career when a court order led to the temporary suspension of his podcast after the controversy surrounding Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. He jokingly described the whole episode as a “kaand.”

The moment Farah walked into the apartment, she found herself in a spacious area that blended the dining and living spaces seamlessly. Impressed by the grandeur of the place, she turned to her cook, Dilip, and joked, “He got such a big house by doing podcast. How big a house can we get if we also start a podcast.” The living room stood out with its striking blue sofa placed opposite a massive TV, while the apartment’s true charm lay beyond — a vast balcony filled with green plants and comfy seating. The dining corner, on the other hand, exuded simplicity with its neat grey-and-beige furniture.

Impressed by the setup, she called the room “iconic” before curiously asking if the India’s Got Latent controversy had unfolded during his time in the same house. “Ye kand kab hua tha?” she inquired. Ranveer reflected that the home had been both a lucky charm and a silent witness to the highs and lows of his career.

I asked myself, ‘How can I go so wrong?’ Because I found it so funny. Now Gen Z is appreciating it.”

She also questioned Ranveer about what followed the India’s Got Latent controversy, when one of his remarks sparked backlash, resulting in multiple legal cases and a temporary halt to his podcast. Reflecting on that period, Ranveer shared, “My podcast was stopped after that, I had to bear a lot. I just pray from God to just return me my work. I just wanted opportunity to work because we were not even able to shoot.”

Stars who supported Ranveer Allahbadia during tough times

Ranveer recalled that during the tough days following the controversy, several well-known names from the film and sports industry reached out to him for support, including John Abraham and a few Indian cricketers.

Put your head down and work.” Responding to her, Ranveer said, “John Abraham sir called me and said the same thing. He had called specially. He told me to handle myself and told me that this is normal in the media. Sonu Nigam, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, and Yuzvendra Chahal also called me during that time.”Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
