After the episode drew criticism from netizens and other people, the YouTuber issued an apology on social media. He said, "My comment wasn't just inappropriate, it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte, I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I wish to use the platform and obviously this is not how I am going to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. Just an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgement. It wasn't cool on my part.."
Allahbadia added, "The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don't want to be the person that takes that responsibility lightly. And, family is the last thing that I would disrespect. Need to use this platform better, that's been my learning from this experience. I promise to just get better. I've asked the makers of the video to just remove the insensitive sections from the video. And, all I can say in the end is I am sorry. I hope you forgive me as a human being."
