India's Got Latent Row:  Comedian Samay Raina finally opened up on the controversy around the 'India's Got Latent' show. He stated on Wednesday that he had removed all episodes of his show from his YouTube channel, following a backlash over YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia's "sex with parents" statement. The controversy began when podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia made a shocking joke about 'parental sex' that went viral on Samay Raina's "India's Got Latent".

“Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you," Raina said on his X handle.

In the viral video, the influencer was seen asking 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." This comment was viewed as rude and vulgar.
