Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, known online as BeerBiceps, is facing intense backlash after sharing — and later deleting — an Instagram post addressed to the people of Pakistan.
In the now-deleted post, shared on Saturday, Ranveer said he harbored no hatred toward ordinary Pakistanis and apologized if anyone felt Indians were spreading animosity.
"Dear Pakistani brothers and sisters, I will get hate from many Indians for this, but it needs to be said. Just like many Indians, I don't have hate in my heart for you. Many of us want peace too. Whenever we meet Pakistanis, you always greet us with love," he wrote.
However, Ranveer distinguished between the people of Pakistan and its leadership, blaming the country’s military and intelligence agency, ISI, for both domestic setbacks and cross-border terrorism.
"Your country is not run by a government — it is run by your military and your secret service. The average Pakistani dreams of peace and prosperity. These two villains have hurt your economy and been responsible for countless terrorist attacks in India," he claimed, adding that he included "proof" in the next slides.
He cited several examples, including captured terrorists allegedly being of Pakistani origin, military leaders attending the funeral of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief's brother, and Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s admission of state-sponsored terrorism on international media.
Ranveer emphasized that his message was not meant to generalize the Pakistani population but to call out the country’s power structure.
"This is not Indian people vs Pakistani people. This is India vs Pakistani Military & ISI. Hope peace prevails in the long term, Inshallah," he concluded.
Despite deleting the post, screenshots quickly spread across social media, sparking sharp criticism.
One user on X wrote, "This is insulting to our brave armed forces. And on your part, it's hypocrisy at its peak. Shame on you!" Another added, "Kabhi nahi sudhrega Ranveer (He’ll never change)."
In response to the uproar, Ranveer later posted a video urging people not to spread misinformation online and reiterated his stance on Pakistan's alleged role in recent attacks.
