India’s Got Latent, a roast show hosted by comedian Samay Raina, is being criticized following remarks made by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia. Celebrities, including actor Rakhi Sawant, comic Bharti Singh, influencer Uorfi Javed, and former Roadies anchor Raghu Ram, have appeared as guests on the show.

Amidst the criticism, some voices supported Samay Raina, including fashion influencer Uorfi Javed and actor Rakhi Sawant. Rakhi recently took to her social media to encourage people to move on from the issue. In her message, she wrote, “Forgive him, yaar. It’s okay, it happens sometimes. Forgive him. I know he did wrong, but forgive him.”

In response to the backlash, formal complaints were filed against Allahbadia, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, Raina, and the show’s organizers. Samay Raina later addressed the issue on Instagram, stating that he had removed all videos of the show from his channel and was “fully cooperating” with authorities.
