Shekhar Suman wants govt to send Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina to Rangoon amid India’s Got Latent row: ‘Desh nikala de dena chahiye’

Several celebrities have criticized Ranveer Allahbadia for his controversial remark on Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. The latest to speak out is Shekhar Suman, who, in a recent interview, expressed his disgust over Ranveer’s remark. He urged the government to ban the show and expel Ranveer and Samay from the country.

In a conversation with Instant Bollywood, Suman said, “Iss tarah ka zamaana jahan maa-baap ko leke iss tarah ki gandi baatein ki jaa rahi hain, inn logon ko toh desh nikala de dena chahiye. Inko toh desh mein wapis nahi rehna chahiye. Aise log jo iss tarah ki badtameeze kar rahe hain roast ke naam pe, aur YouTube mein ye freedom of speech ke naam pe ki hamein bolne ki azaadi hain (In a time when such obscene remarks are being made about parents, these individuals should be exiled from the country. They should not be allowed to return. They are crossing their limits in the name of a roast, and misusing freedom of speech).”

He added, “Bolne ki azaadi ka ye thodi matlab hain ki aap usey gaaliyon se bhar de ya aisi gandagi bhar de jisko sunn ke poora desh bimaar ho jaye. Sarkar ke taraf se main darkhast karunga ki aise logon ka show hamesha ke liye band kar dena chahiye aur inhe kahin door, Rangoon bhej dena chahiye (Those who engage in such disrespect under the guise of roasts, claiming freedom of speech on platforms like YouTube, misuse this freedom by filling it with abuses or filth that sickens the entire nation. I urge the government to permanently ban such shows and send these individuals far away).”

Ranveer Allahbadia’s obscene remark on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent led to widespread furore and multiple FIRs. Following the backlash, Samaya removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from YouTube.
