India's Got Latent grabbed attention after the dark comedy failed to resonate with the audience, authorities, and the law. Samay Raina, the host of the controversial show, was summoned for promoting vulgar and obscene content. This happened after inappropriate comments made by Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and others on the show evoked anger and outrage among the audience. As Samay is currently being summoned by the authorities, an old video of him jamming on the streets of London has gone viral.

An old video posted by Pakistani singer Amir Hashmi on his Instagram account has caught the attention of many amidst the India's Got Latent controversy. In this clip, Samay Raina and Amir can be seen singing together on the streets of London. Samay, dressed in warm clothes, is seen passionately singing while several passersby stop to watch and record the performance. This video was posted by Amir on his Instagram on February 6, just a few days before the controversy began.

Samay Raina, who was hosting India's Got Latent, a show that aired on YouTube, landed in serious trouble after Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and several others appeared as guests. Ranveer's questions about parents' s** lives and Apoorva's comments on vaginas raised eyebrows. While the two faced immense backlash, many others associated with the episode also suffered consequences.

An FIR was lodged against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, and others in Assam, Mumbai, and Jaipur. Later, on February 17, the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned Samay, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Balraj Ghai, Tushar Poojari, and Saurabh Bothra for a hearing. However, all of them failed to appear, citing various reasons. As a result, the NCW issued a new date for the hearing.

The NCW later rescheduled the hearing, summoning Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, Tushar Poojari, and Saurabh Bothra to appear on March 6, while Samay Raina, Jaspreet Singh, and Balraj Ghai were summoned on March 11.

Following multiple FIRs and widespread backlash, Samay Raina and the makers of India's Got Latent deleted all episodes of the show from YouTube. In response to the controversy, Harsh Gujral, who was known for hosting The Escape Room, also deleted all episodes of his show.
