Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ came under intense scrutiny after controversial remarks were made by Ranveer Allahbadia during an episode of the show.

Allahbadia’s comment about a contestant involving their parents quickly went viral and was met with widespread criticism on social media.

The podcaster later issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were not only inappropriate but lacked humour.

Guwahati Crime Branch also filed a case against the comedian Samay Raina for allegedly promoting obscenity and vulgar content through his YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent. ‘

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court on Monday issued summons to comedians Samay Raina and four others and asked them to personally appear before it over their allegedly insensitive remarks made against persons with disabilities in their show. (ANI)
