Comedian Samay Raina’s reality show, “India’s Got Latent,” achieved significant popularity within a year of its debut. However, the program now faces potential prohibition after one of its panelists, Ranveer Allahbadia, became embroiled in controversy due to inappropriate jokes regarding parents.
Allahbadia’s remarks concerning parents and their sexual activities have attracted widespread criticism from political figures and legal professionals. Multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed against Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, and other panelists featured in the “India’s Got Latent” episode, including Samay Raina, Apoorva Makhija, Jaspreet Singh, and Ashish Chanchlani.
Latest update regarding the case.
The ongoing controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia has taken a new turn as comedian Samay Raina receives a second summons from the Maharashtra Cyber Police. This development comes in response to the scrutiny faced by Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent, after Allahbadia’s contentious remarks. Despite Raina’s public apology and the removal of all show episodes, legal matters are intensifying. The latest summons mandates Raina’s appearance on February 17, following a request for extension due to his current U.S. tour. As the situation unfolds, stakeholders closely monitor the evolving legal proceedings.
Raina’s Gujarat Show Cancelled.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has claimed that Raina’s upcoming shows in Gujarat have been canceled following public outcry. The VHP cited the crass nature of the remarks made on “India’s Got Latent” as the reason behind the cancellations, and tickets for Raina’s April shows were reportedly removed from sale on the online platform BookMyShow.
What the entire controversy is all about and why Ranveer Allahbadia is under fire.
The controversy originated from a widely condemned question posed by Allahbadia on Samay Raina’s YouTube show, “India’s Got Latent.” During the episode, Allahbadia asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it forever?” To date, multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed against Raina, Allahbadia, and other individuals involved in the show, including comedian Ashish Chanchlani, actor Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija. Despite Allahbadia’s apology, in which he acknowledged that his comment was “inappropriate, unfunny, and a lapse in judgment,” the damage has been done.
Samay Raina responds to India’s Got Latent controversy after legal row.
“Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you. (folded hands emoji).”
