Ashish Chanchlani shares emotional video amid India’s Got Latent row: ‘Samajh nahi aa raha kya kahun, lad lenge situation se’

YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani, a panelist on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent, has spoken out for the first time since the controversy erupted over fellow panelist Ranveer Allahbadia’s obscene remark. In an emotional video, Chanchlani appealed to fans for support and prayers.

After appearing before the Assam Police and recording his statement, the Youtuber took to his Instagram handle and shared a video. In it, he said “Samajh nahi aa raha kya kahun. Lad lenge situation se, dekhe hain aise tough times, isse bhi kuch naya seekh lenge. Main aap sabse bas yahi request karta hoon ki meri family aur mujhe apni prayers mein rakhna. Jab bhi main wapas aaun, mera kaam thoda idhar-udhar ho gaya hoga, lekin tab bhi support karna. I will work hard, as I have always worked hard.”

For the unversed, in an episode of India’s Got Latent, Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant, “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 led to widespread outrage and multiple FIRs against the panelists.

After the criticism and legal troubles, Ranveer tendered an apology and Samay removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from YouTube. Now, the court has allowed Ranveer to resume his podcast, The Ranveer Show, while adhering to a few conditions.
