The Controversy And Its Impact
Last year, India's Got Latent faced heavy criticism due to dark humour and objectionable jokes. In one episode, Ranveer Allahbadia made a controversial remark about parents, which sparked outrage on social media.
The backlash led to trolling, police complaints, and strong reactions from several groups. As a result, Samay Raina had to delete all episodes of the show and later issued a public apology.
