India’s Got Latent Row: Samay Raina’s show has been under major scrutiny after Ranveer Allahbadia's ‘parent sex’ joke. It seems, this shook the entire influencer’s community from the core. A recent example of this is lifestyle and travel vlogger Shenaz Treasury, who claimed that she lost a brand deal after India’s Got Latent controversy. She also shared that following the controversy, she got a call from the brand about dropping her from the project. Shenaz also shared that she was upset by the incident and further mentioned that brands are being a little wary at the moment.
In an interview with Moneycontrol, Shenaz Treasury said “I was going to join hands with a platform - a marathon platform. They were offering equity. Following the Allahbadia controversy, they (the brand) called me and dropped me from the project which is very upsetting. They said they can't afford to have celebrities or influencers because look what happened with Allahbadia.”
“If you say something then someone will come and shut us down. This is a big loss. Brands are being a little wary right now,” she added.
Notably, Shenaz Treasurywala has 1.2 million followers on Instagram and 5.64 lakh (0.56 million) subscribers on YouTube.
On Samay Raina led show India’s Got Latent, Ranveer Allahbadia jokingly asked a question to a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
After the incident, Allahbadia shared an apology video on Instagram “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate. It wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I’m gonna use my platform, and obviously, this is not how I’m gonna use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning for whatever happened, I am just here to offer an apology. I’m just here for an apology. I personally had a lapse in judgment. It wasn’t cool on my part. The podcast is watched by people of all ages. I don’t want to be the kind of person that takes that responsibility lightly, and family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect.”
