India’s Got Latent, a popular show, has become controversial after its latest members-only episode, where comedians and influencers made offensive jokes and comments. Among those facing backlash are comedian Samay Raina, popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahabdia, and Apoorva Makhija.

This has put pressure on both his career and public image.

The case has now reached Parliament, with authorities summoning over 40 people, including influencers and show producers.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned Ranveer Allahabadia, Samay Raina, and others over offensive remarks made on a show. NCW chief Vijaya Rahatkar strongly condemned the language used and emphasized the need for stricter content regulation. She stated that the commission has written to the IT Ministry regarding the issue. The NCW is taking the matter seriously and is pushing for action against such content.
The All Indian Cine Workers’ Associations (AICWA) has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah and I&B Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to ban the YouTube show India’s Got Latent. AICWA has written a letter demanding strict action against the show’s creators. The association alleges that the content is inappropriate and harmful to the industry. They seek immediate intervention to prevent its circulation.
