As per the publication, Ranveer Allahbadia, in particular, expressed deep regret for his remarks. He assured the commission that he would be more mindful in the future. He reportedly told the panel, “This is the first and last time such a mistake has happened. From now on, I will think carefully and speak with respect toward women.” Several FIRs were lodged against Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, for his comments on parents and sex.
