Popular YouTuber and gamer Jonathan Amaral aka 'Jonathan Gaming' recently publicly apologised after a three-year-old video of him went viral, sparking widespread controversy. In the video, Jonathan can be heard instructing his teammate to refrain from speaking in Marathi and instead communicate in Hindi or English, citing that most of his audience only understands these languages.

In response to the backlash, Jonathan Gaming issued a heartfelt apology, acknowledging that his words were thoughtless. He expressed regret for any offense caused and assured his audience that he values diversity. Interestingly, Jonathan himself is a resident of Maharashtra and speaks Marathi.
