Overview
- During an episode of India's Got Latent 2 released October 26, MC Stan took out a cigarette and moved to light it before host Samay Raina told him to stop.
- Samay reacted with a joking line about a tea-stall setting that made fellow panellists, including Tanmay Bhat, laugh and left the moment on tape.
- The short clip spread quickly on X, with users such as Nish and revengeseeker sharing the video and prompting wider media coverage.
- The appearance was notable because MC Stan, born Altaf Tadavi in Pune, has kept a low public profile since winning Bigg Boss 16 and posting on Instagram last in April 2025.
- No official response or disciplinary action has been reported so far, and the clip may prompt fresh attention to on-set conduct and broadcaster rules for the show.
