Samay Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent episodes resurface after controversy, fans ask if comeback is on the cards
Fans are wondering if Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent is ready to make a comeback.
The return of India's Got Latent's clips on social media sparked excitement among fans.Samay Raina’s popular YouTube show India’s Got Latent is set to make a comeback about four months after the show was removed from the video platform amid a massive backlash over a tasteless comment made on the show. The episodes of the show have made a discreet comeback, albeit on a different channel. The sudden return has left fans buzzing with speculation about a likely comeback of the show.
India’s Got Latent faced a lot of criticism after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made a controversial comment to a contestant involving their parents. As the comment sparked widespread outrage and legal action, the YouTube show was taken down. The multiple FIRs were filed against Ranveer and Samay Raina as well as other comedians who were a part of the show including Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani.
Following the incident, Samay had took down all episodes of the show from his official channel. He had also issued a statement saying, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time.”
While the episodes have not been reinstated, some segments of the show have been shared on a new YouTube channel named India’s Got Latent Clips, which has recently become active. These revived clips include content from public and members-only episodes, with over 500 videos currently available for viewing. The page was private and was recently made public for fans.
