Flying Beast Fires Back at Anupam Mittal—And It’s Savage!
Drama Alert: Flying Beast Claps Back at Anupam Mittal!
YouTuber and pilot Gaurav Taneja aka Flying Beast just dropped a fiery reply to Anupam Mittal’s criticism of the gaming ban—and fans are losing it. Mittal had warned that banning real-money gaming would wipe out ₹27,000 crore in GST revenue and ruin livelihoods. But Flying Beast threw verbal flames in an explosive video, saying:
“For every rupee the government earns, it spends much more on lost productivity, health, and addiction rehab. Youth are getting spoiled, chasing easy money. Families are being destroyed. So—what matters more, a balance sheet or lives?”
What’s the Backstory?
- Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com and Shark Tank India judge, ripped into the new Online Gaming Bill (2025), calling it “moral policing” and warning about massive economic fallout. He warned, "Hope we’re not trying to out-ban China."
The Times of IndiaBusiness Today - Gaurav Taneja (Flying Beast), known for his high-energy content and energetic defenses (remember his earlier clapbacks on Shark Tank controversies?), is now entering gamer-rights territory with this emotional—and media-savvy—response.
