Comedian Samay Raina has finally ended his silence on the raging storm around his show India’s Got Latent and its latest episode featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani. He took to his social media and informed his fans that he has deleted all the videos related to India’s Got Latent from his Youtube.
“Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias 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 (sic),” he wrote on X.
Multiple police complaints and FIRs have been registered against Samay, Ranveer, Apoorva and others associated with the latest episode of India’s Got Latent. It all began after Ranveer, who was one of the judges in the episode, asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?”
Samay and Apoorva were seen laughing at the supposed joke, and they too were seen using abusive language throughout the epi
This did not go down well with netizens who slammed the content creators and called the show’s humour “disgusting” and “obscene”.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Tuesday registered an FIR against 30-40 people involved with India’s Got Latent from its first episode to sixth episode. These names include Samay, Ranveer, Apoorva, Ashish Chanchlani, and others.
Apoorva and Ashish recorded their statements with the Mumbai Police on Wednesday and said that India’s Got Latent was not a scripted show and that the judges and participants are instructed to “talk openly”. They also mentioned that the judges were not paid to be a part of the show.
