India’s Got Latent's Controversy: Samay Raina's show India’s Got Latent sparked a massive controversy after Ranveer Allahbadia made inappropriate remarks in the latest episode, which created waves on social media. This led to Samay, Ranveer and other panelists of the show, including Apoorva Makhija, becoming embroiled in legal trouble. The Supreme Court has refrained them from airing any more episodes of the show until further notice. Amid the ongoing controversy, a clip of Samay touching director-choreographer Farah Khan’s feet in one of the episodes has emerged online, circulating widely among netizens.
In a viral video, Samay Raina is seen welcoming the show’s panelists, including Farah Khan, social media sensation Urfi Javed, comedian Tanmay Bhat and rapper KRSNA. He greets everyone on stage by shaking hands, but when he meets Farah, he goes to touch her feet to show respect. However, the choreographer stops him playfully with a slap gesture.

In December last year, Urfi walked out of the show midway after receiving derogatory remarks from the contestants. Addressing the controversy on her Instagram story, Urfi wrote, “I think I missed the memo. Nowadays, people think it’s cool to abuse someone or slut-shame someone for views. I’m sorry, but I’m not okay with anyone abusing me or slut-shaming me for my body count (which they don’t know but just assumed it must be high). All this for what? For 2 minutes of fame? The guy who abused me wasn’t even joking. He got legit mad when I asked him why he was faking being handicapped! He just abused me on stage in front of so many people.” Despite this, Urfi has supported Samay and Ranveer in their legal battle.
Ranveer Allahbadia’s remark about parents' sex on the show has significantly affected his career, as well as Samay Raina’s.
