When he started his stream, he noticed that all his apps, including Spotify and Apple Music, had been removed. Parag explained that he had searched for music on YouTube during his stream without realizing what was happening. After the stream ended, he realized the situation had escalated. He chose not to clarify at the time, believing that people wouldn't understand and that it wasn't worth addressing publicly. In May last year, Riyan Parag's search history revealed explicit searches related to Bollywood actresses Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan.
