What Did Ranveer Allahbadia Say?

"Would you like to see your parents having sex every day, or join them one day so that it stops forever?"

While several entertainment industry figures have criticized the incident, Urfi Javed has come forward to support Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. Urfi, who has previously been a guest on India’s Got Latent, took to Instagram to express her views.
In her Instagram story, Urfi wrote:
"You may not like certain people or what they say, but demanding that they be jailed for it? Are you serious? Ummm! I don’t know. Samay is a friend of mine, and I support him, but yes, what the rest of the panel said was unpleasant. However, I don’t believe they deserve to be jailed for this."
