Recently, Samay Raina performed in Canada, where he jokingly referenced the India’s Got Latent controversy during his show. A fan, Shubham Dutt, who attended the performance, shared his experience on Facebook. He wrote, “For the first time, I saw a 25-year-old guy, weighed down by immense mental pressure, dark circles under his eyes, a sunken face, and unkempt hair, walk onto the stage in a dust-covered black hoodie. His first words into the mic? ‘Thanks for paying my lawyer’s fees.”

India’s Got Latent came under fire after an episode featured Ranveer Allahbadia asking a contestant an inappropriate question: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?” The remark sparked massive backlash, leading to FIRs being filed against Ranveer, Samay, and other comedians present on the panel.
