Samay Raina’s In-Flight Reunion With ‘Panoti’ Contestant Goes Viral During IndiGo Disruption

The chance encounter has renewed attention on Raina’s shuttered India’s Got Latent following earlier court-ordered apologies.

Overview

  • Raina posted an Instagram reel from an IndiGo flight featuring Monal Kohli, a former contestant who had described himself as “jinxed.”
  • The collaborative clip with Habitat Studios spread rapidly as influencers and users turned the coincidence into memes tied to the airline’s troubles.
  • IndiGo is easing back from days of cancellations and lengthy delays blamed on crew shortages and scheduling issues, after regulatory intervention.
  • India’s Got Latent previously drew legal action for videos that mocked patients and people with disabilities, with courts, including the Supreme Court, pushing for public apologies.
  • The show later shut down following uproar over participant remarks, with police complaints filed against creators including those tied to Ranveer Allahbadia.
