Samay Raina, a comedian and content creator, enjoys immense popularity among the youth.

Chhavi Mittal has offered a different take on the situation. In a lengthy Instagram post, she questioned the role of the audience in making such content popular and called for introspection.

She also emphasized the responsibility of viewers in endorsing content. “Is it not the viewers’ responsibility too to exercise caution while endorsing content that they talk about? Watch?” she asked.

After receiving immense backlash for his vulgar remarks, Ranveer Allahbadia uploaded the video on his X handle admitting that his remarks were inappropriate and unfunny.

Reacting to the ongoing controversy that erupted on India's Got Latent, Gaurav Taneja, popularly known as Flying Beast, has called out Samay Raina. 

While talking to the reporters, the CM said, "Everyone has freedom of speech but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others. This encroachment is not right. In our society, we have made some rules; if someone violates them, it is absolutely wrong and action should be taken against them ."

Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant an inappropriate and offensive question: "Would you rather watch your parents have s*x every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?" during his appearance on Samay Raina's show. His remarks left fellow judges—including Samay Raina, comedian Ashish Chanchalani, and influencer Apoorva Makhija—visibly shocked and speechless.

The complaint, lodged with the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women's Commission, accuses Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Makhija, and Samay Raina of using abusive language on the show. The letter also calls for strict legal action against the accused.
