Controversy Around India’s Got Latent
This India tour comes shortly after Samay faced backlash for his involvement in India’s Got Latent, a YouTube talent show that drew major criticism earlier this year. In one of the episodes, YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant an inappropriate question, sparking outrage online. The offensive comment quickly went viral and was widely condemned by audiences, celebrities, and even politicians.
Following the controversy, several FIRs were filed against the makers of the show, including Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia. All episodes of the show were later removed from YouTube. Earlier this month, Samay appeared before the National Commission for Women and submitted a written apology, expressing regret for the content aired during the show.
Samay Raina’s International Tour
Before announcing his India tour, Samay Raina had completed a successful international tour. From June 5 to July 20, the comedian performed in various cities across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The tour kicked off in Cologne and concluded in Sydney. Now, with his latest India tour, Samay is ready to reconnect with his home audience and deliver unfiltered laughter.
