How Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ Season 1 landed in trouble
The first season of the show, which was exclusively on YouTube, landed in serious trouble after guest Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks in one episode triggered a massive uproar. The fallout was severe, with multiple FIRs filed, legal battles ensuing, and The Habitat, the venue where the show was filmed, getting vandalised. Samay was eventually forced to pull all episodes of the show off YouTube. He later announced the arrival of Season 2 during his comedy special, ‘Still Alive’, signalling a fresh and much-anticipated comeback.
