‘Yeh bhi gaya’: Netizens dig up Kanan Gill’s old video echoing Ranveer Allahabadia’s controversial question

New Delhi: Kanan Gill did it first? The internet never forgets and the perfect example of this is comedian Kanan Gill’s 10-year-old video where he is seen asking the exact same question as Ranveer Allahabadia on India’s Got Latent that sparked massive outrage. Netizens unearthed a decade-old video of Kanan Gill where he posed the same question that landed Ranveer in trouble.

However, the old video has now sparked a debate on whether the outrage against BeerBiceps is justified or selective. The controversy erupted when Ranveer appeared on India’s Got Latent and asked a contestant a question that many found inappropriate. Let’s delve into more details!

Kanan Gill’s old video goes viral

In the old video, Kanan Gill can be seen asking the same question Ranveer Allahabadia asked on India’s Got Latent, sparking massive outrage and legal cases. However, Redditors opined that Kanan was saved from controversy as the internet wasn’t accessible to the people back then.

One user wrote on Reddit, “He’d be thanking God rightnow that internet wasn’t that accessible and he wasnt that famous back then.”

Another quipped, “Imagine kanan getting punished for this after a decade.”

Kanan did this 10 years ago. This is such an old and lame question.

One more user shared, “It was not about the joke. It was about the person who cracked the joke. Ranveer is doing podcasts with politicians, and religious and spiritual people which helped him earn followers interested in this field. These people don’t like edgy and dark humour.”
