What happened on India’s Got Latent?

If you are unaware of the biggest news of the past few days, we’re here to give you a quick rundown. YouTubers such as Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchalani, and Jaspreet Singh were part of the most recent India’s Got Latent episode. The episode quickly went viral after a clip of Ranveer Allahbadia asking a controversial question to a contestant. Following this, the internet, the media, and everyone in between criticised and targeted Ranveer, Samay and Apoorva for their ‘tasteless and abusive’ language and condemned their actions.

The YouTubers have now faced multiple FIRs for their involvement in the show. Samay Raina then went on to delete all the India’s Got Latent episodes from his channel. With the most number of FIRs against him, Ranveer Allahabadia approached the Supreme Court to club all the cases against him. The Sama and Ranveer will be appearing before the court in the next two days.
