Recently, content creator Ranveer Allahbadia encountered criticism for his remarks on a now-removed episode of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. In the episode, Ranveer posed a question to a contestant, asking, ‘Would you prefer to see your parents having sex daily for the remainder of your life, or participate in it once and end it for good?’ Following the viral spread of clips from the episode, legal measures were initiated against Samay and Ranveer. Previous celebrity guests on the program were also called in for questioning. In the midst of the controversy, individuals have unearthed an old clip of comedian Kapil Sharma making a comparable joke on his show in 2023.
In the video, Kapil says, “In India, people are crazy about films and cricket. A student will never wake up to study for exams at 4 am, but they will definitely wake up for a cricket match. Some of them are so crazy, that they wake up at 2 am for a 4 am match, then they see their ‘parents kabaddi’ and go back to sleep.” Many fans have been circulating this video, wondering why only Samay Raina is being pulled up for his jokes, and why nothing happened when Kapil made a similar joke.
A fan wrote on Instagram, “These videos should be shown in the court trials.” Another user wrote, “Kapil crosses the line so frequently, but just because Samay Raina is leaving others behind, they are trying to stop him from succeeding)” One user also commented, “We should also ban @kapilsharma, no?”
Although Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina have garnered support from their peers, several senior actors have also criticized the comments they expressed on India’s Got Latent. On Wednesday, the police called Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija to take their statements. Although Ranveer has expressed remorse for his remarks, Samay has removed all episodes of the show from YouTube India.
