What was Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent controversy?
The controversy began in January 2025 when Ranveer Allahbadia, best known for his YouTube channel BeerBiceps, appeared as a guest in one of the episodes of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. During the episode, he asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
The remark triggered massive outrage online, with many accusing the influencer of crossing the line in the name of comedy. In the wake of the backlash, the episode was taken down from YouTube following the intervention of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
The controversy soon escalated into a legal matter, with a police complaint being filed against Ranveer, Samay Raina and fellow panellists Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Makhija.
