Stand-up comedian Samay Raina recently opened up about the India’s Got Latent controversy. He talked about his regret about the incident and shared that the show would return. He also announced his new comedy tour which will kick off in July.
The India’s Got Latent controversy.
The controversy was the result of comments made by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia during an episode of Samay's comedy show India's Got Latent. This led to an FIR being filed against the hosts of the show, Apoorva Mukhija, YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Samay himself for promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit conversations during the YouTube show.
Speaking with podcaster Raj Shamani, Samay Raina shared, “There will be highs and lows in one’s life. I realised that you should be bold regardless of what... But there is a limit to the boldness as well.” He even mentioned, "Once something is released, it can't be taken back.”
Raina admits to poor judgment
The comedian also said that he regrets not editing out Ranveer Allahbadia's comments. "Many times, unwanted things stay in life... which we later look back on and regret, thinking 'if only I had cut that out back then’... But it's often too late by then.”
