Tanmay Bhat, the co-founder of AIB, sparked controversy in 2016 when he posted a Snapchat video using a face filter to imitate former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam. The video was criticised as disrespectful by many, leading to a significant public backlash. Although Bhat apologized, the incident contributed to the decline of AIB, especially after the company was later caught up in a #MeToo scandal.

Kapil Sharma, known for his clean, family-oriented humour, has occasionally sparked controversy with his inappropriate comments. In 2016, he faced backlash for making sexist jokes about women working in government offices. His public fallout with comedian Sunil Grover, where he was reportedly abusive during a mid-flight argument, further damaged his image and led to a brief decline in his career.

Legal complaints were lodged against him, and political groups called for an apology.
