India's Got Latent controversy evoked immense backlash in the country, and everyone associated with it has been facing the wrath. Many celebrities also criticized the obscene content displayed on the show and blamed Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchalani and a few others. While these creators are in legal trouble, Shekhar Suman has strongly condemned the show and urged the government to ban it.

He even mentioned feeling 'disgusted' after hearing the parents' joke on the show. While speaking to Instant Bollywood at an event, Shekhar Suman reacted to India's Got Latent row and strongly criticized Ranveer Allahbadia and others. He explained that in a time when obscene remarks are passed about parents, these people should be thrown out of the country. They shouldn't live in this country.

Shekhar Suman added, "Aise log joh iss tarah ki badtamizi kar rahe hai roast ke naam pe aur YouTube mai ye freedom of speech ke naam pe ki hame ki aazadi hai. Bolne ki aazaadi ka ye thodi matlab hai ki aap usey galiyo se bhar de ya aisi gandagi bhar de jisko sunn ke pura desh bimaar ho jaaye. (People are doing vulgar things in the pretext of roast and on the pretext of freedom of speech on YouTube. Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you start abusing and after hearing this, the country falls sick)."

He then urged the government to ban India's Got Latent and throw the responsible people out of the country. The actor shared that the government should shut the show of these people and should send these people away.

India's Got Latent controversy erupted earlier in February 2025 after Ranveer Allahbadia's appearance. The episode received flak after Ranveer's comment on 'parents having s*x' left everyone disgusted. He had asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents having s*x or join in once to stop it forever?" This question sparked widespread outrage on the internet. Several FIRs were lodged against him in Assam, Maharashtra and Jaipur.

Not only Ranveer but Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani and a few others landed in legal trouble. The legal proceedings for this case are still in process. After this backlash, Samay deleted all the episodes of India's Got Latent from YouTube.
