Samay Raina’s Unfiltered was supposed to take place at Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium on March 21 and March 23. Earlier, his show in Gujarat was also cancelled.
About The Controversy:
YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani and social media influencer Apoorva Makhija appeared on India’s Got Latent as guests. The backlash was caused due to Ranveer’s question for one contestant as he said, “Watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life. Or would you join in once and stop it forever?”
The controversy escalated when the complaint were also filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women’s Commission for allegedly using abusive language on the show. All Indian Cine Workers’ Associations (AICWA) wrote a letter to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, demanding a ban on ‘India’s Got Latent’ and legal action against its creators.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has now allowed Ranveer to resume releasing his podcast ‘The Ranveer Show’. The SC also asked him to maintain the ‘morality and decency’ in his podcast.
