Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina has deleted all episodes of his podcast India’s Got Latent after major controversy erupted over a recent episode featuring Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps).
What Went Down?
It all started when Ranveer Allahbadia made some explicit remarks during his guest appearance on India’s Got Latent. While the internet is no stranger to spicy conversations, this one apparently crossed the line for many viewers and the authorities.
As criticism piled up, the National Commission for Women (NCW) took notice, and soon, a case was officially filed. With accusations of obscenity and inappropriate content, things got serious fast.
Realizing the heat, Samay Raina pulled the plug on all India’s Got Latent episodes, wiping them off YouTube. Addressing the situation, he posted:
"Everything that has been 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."
But deleting the videos hasn’t put an end to the drama, social media is still buzzing, and people are divided over whether this was an overreaction or a necessary step.
What’s Next?
With an official NCW hearing scheduled for February 17, 2025, things aren’t settling down anytime soon. The commission will decide the next steps, and depending on their ruling, this could have serious consequences for Samay, Ranveer, and the rest of the team involved in the episode.
As for India’s Got Latent, nobody knows if it’s making a comeback. Some fans think Samay might revamp it with stricter content rules, while others believe this is the end of the road for the show. Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia is staying quiet on the matter, leaving everyone guessing about his side of the story.
Final Thoughts
This whole situation raises big questions about where the line is drawn for content creators in India. With authorities getting involved and platforms under more scrutiny, this could be a turning point for podcasts and free speech in Indian digital media.
