In a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Indian YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, participated in a debate discussing the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. The panel also included Indian journalist Barkha Dutt, former Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, and Shehzad Ghias Shaikh from The Pakistan Experience. However, Allahbadia’s presence on the show raised questions among viewers regarding his credentials to discuss such complex geopolitical issues.
During the debate, Allahbadia presented photographs of Osama bin Laden and Abdul Rauf to highlight Pakistan’s alleged ties to terrorism. He emphasized that India’s military actions were “precision-oriented” and retaliatory, contrasting them with Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorist activities. Allahbadia also addressed criticism over a now-deleted social media post where he referred to Pakistanis as “brothers and sisters,” explaining that he removed the post after Pakistan broke the ceasefire, leading to renewed distrust.
While some viewers appreciated Allahbadia’s articulate presentation, many questioned his qualifications to speak on international relations and defense matters. Critics on social media expressed skepticism, with some asking, “What are his credentials?” and others labeling his participation as “diabolical.” This skepticism stems from Allahbadia’s background as a lifestyle and self-improvement content creator, rather than as a geopolitical analyst or foreign policy expert.
In February 2025, Allahbadia faced controversy over a comment made on the show India’s Got Latent, where he posed an inappropriate question to a contestant. The remark led to widespread backlash, multiple FIRs, and an apology from Allahbadia, who acknowledged the comment was “not only inappropriate but also not funny.” He also submitted a written apology to the National Commission for Women over his offensive remarks .
Despite his popularity among younger audiences, Allahbadia’s involvement in the Piers Morgan Uncensored debate underscores the ongoing debate about the role of influencers in public discourse on sensitive topics. While his participation reflects the growing influence of digital content creators, it also raises questions about the depth of their expertise in complex international issues.
In conclusion, while Ranveer Allahbadia’s appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored brought attention to India’s perspective on the India-Pakistan conflict, it also highlighted the challenges and criticisms faced by influencers when engaging in discussions traditionally dominated by experts in international relations and diplomacy.
