Listing the reasons behind the pleasure from others’ failure, Raftaar said that one was social comparison. He explained that seeing the failure of successful people made us feel better about our flaws. He cited ‘Envy and Relief’ as well as ‘Sense of Justice’ as two other reasons.

He concluded his post by saying, “It's worth reflecting on why we feel this way, questioning whether it's about justice or soothing our own insecurities.”
Meanwhile, yesterday, Samay Raina issued a statement regarding the controversy on his social media platforms. He said, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle.” Raina revealed that he had removed all the videos of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel. He further mentioned that he will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure a fair conclusion of their inquiries.
