About India’s Got Latent controversy
Samay Raina’s show had emerged as one of the most-watched programs on YouTube; however, it soon found itself embroiled in a major controversy. This controversy erupted when Ranveer Allahbadia, a renowned YouTuber and podcaster, asked an objectionable and explicit question during the show. Following this incident, the show and the comedians involved faced massive public outrage. Consequently, multiple police complaints and FIRs were filed against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia and other panel members across various states of the country.
The controversy escalated to such an extent that the show’s venue, The Habitat, was even vandalised by a mob. Several prominent politicians also expressed strong reactions regarding this entire affair. In the wake of this intense backlash, Samay and Ranveer issued public apologies, and the comedian removed all episodes of Season 1 from YouTube.
