India’s Got Latent Faces Legal and Public Backlash Over Controversial Episode

Comedian Samay Raina and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia face FIRs and Supreme Court scrutiny after remarks on the show spark outrage.

Ranveer Allahbadia's controversial remark on India's Got Latent led to multiple FIRs and Supreme Court criticism, labeling the comment as obscene and perverted.
Samay Raina, the show's host, has deleted all episodes from YouTube and stated he is cooperating with authorities while continuing his international comedy tour.
The Supreme Court granted Allahbadia interim protection from arrest but barred him and his associates from airing new content and required him to surrender his passport.
The controversy has reignited debates about online content regulation, with a parliamentary panel requesting the IT Ministry to review digital content laws.
Public figures, including Vishal Dadlani and B Praak, have weighed in, with some defending freedom of expression and others calling for accountability and forgiveness.
