I have all the India have removed late videos from my channel. My only goal was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will work completely together With all the agencies to ensure their questions are being closed fairly.
Allahbadia also apologized in a video that his comments were not “just inappropriate, but not even funny”.
“Comedy is not my strength, I'm just here to say sorry,” he said in a video message. He also acknowledged that he had abused his platform. “I am not going to give context or justification or reasoning behind what happened. I am just here for an apology. I personally had a judgment in my opinion. It was not cool on my part,” he said.
