Samay Raina has now been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on February 18 in connection with the India's Got Latent controversy. The backlash began after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia appeared on Samay's show and posed an inappropriate question to a contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it forever?"

The so-called joke sparked outrage online, with netizens slamming Samay, Ranveer, and others involved in the show for allegedly promoting vulgar content. The controversy escalated further, leading to multiple FIRs and legal complaints against Samay. In response to the backlash, the comedian has now removed all episodes of India's Got Latent from his YouTube channel.

DISCLAIMER: We strongly condemn any form of humor that makes light of serious medical conditions, especially those affecting infants. Jokes that trivialize life-threatening illnesses or the struggles of families facing such crises are inappropriate and insensitive. Every child's life is invaluable, and such remarks can be deeply hurtful to those impacted. Respect and empathy should always be prioritized when discussing sensitive topics.
