Speaking about India's Got Latent controversy, it was on February 10, 2025, when the uproar began on social media after Ranveer Allahbadia's comment on the show went viral. Ranveer's comment about parental s*x received immense backlash. After this, Apoorva's comment about v*gina also didn't go down well. Along with Samay, Apoorva and Ranveer, Ashish Chanchlani and a few others were also in trouble for their appearance.
The backlash was so severe that several FIRs were lodged against them. As Samay was the host of India's Got Latent, he was also accused of promoting vulgar content. Recently, the comedian was summoned again for reportedly making insensitive remarks about a blind person and a two-month-old baby. While the infant suffered from SMA or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, the child required Rs 16 crore as a donation for treatment. Samay is now slammed for making a mockery of the unfortunate situation.
While the controversy continues, Samay Raina has now resumed work. India's Got Latent episodes are deleted from YouTube following this controversy.
