Ranveer Allahbadia Faces Backlash, Deletes Post Addressed To ‘Pakistani Brothers And Sisters’

Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, found himself at the center of controversy after sharing an Instagram post addressed to his “Pakistani brothers and sisters” amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. The post, which was later deleted, drew intense backlash from social media users, many of whom accused him of hurting national sentiments and disrespecting the Indian Armed Forces.

Allahbadia began his now-deleted post by acknowledging the potential backlash it could trigger: "I will get hate from many Indians for this, but it's important to be said. Just like many Indians, I don't have hate in my heart for you. Many of us want peace as well. Whenever we meet Pakistanis, you invariably welcome us with love (sic)."

The timing of his message sparked outrage, as it came shortly after the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory mission targeting terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), following the Pahalgam terror attack which killed 26 innocent civilians, including tourists and a foreign national.
