Samay Raina's Show 'India's Got Latent' Resurfaces On YouTube After Controversy; Netizens React

After a massive backlash for four months, Samay Raina's popular YouTube show 'India's Got Latent' has made a discreet comeback, albeit on a different channel. The sudden return left fans buzzing with speculation about the comeback of the show. 

'India's Got Latent' is back on YouTube:

The show faced a lot of criticism earlier this year after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made a controversial comment to a contestant involving their parents, sparking widespread outrage and legal action. Multiple FIRs were filed against Ranveer, Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani, leading to the show being taken down.

Episodes Were Removed:

Following the incident, Samay took down all episodes from his official channel and issued a statement expressing his distress. “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," he wrote.

Now, months later, the show's segments have resurfaced online, but not on the original channel. Instead, they've appeared on a new page called India's Got Latent Clips, which has recently become active.

Fans of the show have shown their excitement. Comments like “2025 is the year of comeback," “Best comeback everrr," and “Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka" have flooded the clips, suggesting that the core audience has remained loyal despite the controversy.

About the Controversy:

The controversy surrounding Samay Raina's show erupted following the filing of an FIR against multiple individuals, including Apoorva Mukhija, YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay himself, and others involved in the India's Got Latent show. The action was based on accusations that they promoted obscenity and engaged in sexually explicit conversations during the YouTube show, which was accessible to the public.

The show faced intense criticism after Ranveer made ‘sex with parents' comments that many felt were insensitive, sparking widespread outrage. The video went viral, and social media users strongly condemned his remarks, leading to a fierce backlash online.
