Ranveer Allahbadia on Piers Morgan's show: Internet praises influencer, sparks redemption chatter online
After facing backlash over controversial remarks earlier this year, the podcaster better known as BeerBiceps surprises many with a strong defence of India on international TV.
Clips of Ranveer's appearance, particularly a segment shared by Piers Morgan himself on X, went viral, racking up over eight lakh views, and prompting intense social media debate.
Podcaster and social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, who courted controversy earlier this year for an inappropriate remark on a comedy podcast, is once again in the spotlight. This time it is for taking a strong pro-India stand on the international stage.
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Allahbadia was part of a panel discussion on the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict.
Joining him were senior journalist Barkha Dutt, Hina Rabbani Khar, Pakistan's former Foreign Minister, and Pakistani comedian and podcaster Shehzad Ghias Shaikh.
During the debate, Allahbadia held up photos of Osama Bin Laden, found near a Pakistani military base, and terrorist Abdul Rauf, seen with Pakistan's army personnel, stating, "Pakistan exports terrorism."
Clips of his appearance, particularly a segment shared by Piers Morgan himself on X, went viral, racking up over eight lakh views, prompting intense social media reactions, with the Internet applauding him.

But credit where it's due,
The Osama point hit hard, and your delivery was solid.
Well done @beerbicepsguy.
Very few get both the guts and the opportunity for redemption.
Now turn this moment into somethingā¦
Hear me out. They picked BeerBiceps, expecting him to falter, handing the Pakistani side an edge, but he completely surprised them with his well-founded, precise arguments. Bet neither they, we, nor even Ranveer thought he would deliver this hard. pic.twitter.com/MZ04OmMyWD

Spot on Piers Morgan you brought truth to the world. This debate is enough to show how Pak people speak and answer a simple question by giving you twisted answers. Appreciate this entertainment. Today for this show alone I respect Barkha and Ranveer.
