Samay Raina revealed Ranveer asked the controversial parents question 8 times that day
What led to the uproar around that episode of India’s Got Latent was Ranveer Allahbadia’s question to a contestant about their parents’ intimacy, which many viewers found inappropriate and offensive. Addressing the backlash during the stand-up set, Samay clarified why that moment wasn’t edited out, revealing that the remark wasn’t an isolated instance.
He said, “Main tumhe maa ki kasam sach batata hoon. Uss episode main Beer Biceps ne voh sawal 8 baar poocha tha. Aur iske alawa bhi kayi ant shant sawal (rubbish) pooche the usne. Toh ab jab maine edit dekha na, maine kaha, ‘Yeh toh bohot gandi baatein kari hain isne.’ (I swear, in that episode, Beer Biceps asked that question 8 times. Other than this, he had asked lots of rubbish questions too. So when I saw the edit, I realized that he had said many obscene things.)”
