The India Got Latent Controversy Unfolds
Ranveer Allahbadia popular for his podcast BeerBiceps on the social media platform was invited to judge Samai Raina’s show India Got Latent. This is a stand-up talent show highlighting interesting characters among us where slang and sexist jokes are a common occurrence.
In this show Allahbadia one single question that wasn’t even an original led to a series of FIRs against the host of the show Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia. The controversial question in the talks was “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
A remark that shocked even the host and audience however, nothing would have prepared Raina or Allahbadia for the criticism and protest against the remark. Soon the clips of the particular episode went viral leading to the first FIR in Guwahati, Assam. This crude remark led to several protests from Women’s Protection Commissions across the country leading to finally The Supreme Court of India’s hearing on the accused plea on 18th February 2025.
Samai Raina’s Stance In The Controversy
While Raveen Allahbadia is the root of the controversy the heat of the incident is affecting the host of the India Got Latent show. Samai Raina in a recent statement, expressed his view on the incident: “Everything that has been happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all of India’s 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.”
While Allahbadia confessed to not being a professional comedian and understanding the seriousness of the remark on the show. In a video clip, he expresses his regret on the matter and his incapacity to crack a joke. As of now, the video has been removed from YouTube and Samai Raina’s channel however the clips are still circulating the web because of the spotlight on the matter.
