Singer Mika Singh has shared his perspective on the controversy surrounding comedian Samay Raina and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia following the India’s Got Latent row. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Mika reflected on the backlash and compared it to his own past experiences with public scrutiny.
“I have no personal issues with Samay Raina; he is a sweet guy. A lot of people have told me he is my huge fan and a great musician too. Ranveer is also very nice. He is a gracious and poised human being, but his biggest mistake was that he shouldn’t have gone on the show,” Mika said.
He explained that their audiences differ, adding, “Ranveer’s show is very decent and respectful. Samay’s show has a different audience. If he had not gone there, this issue wouldn’t have happened.”
Mika also noted how certain content can be deemed offensive in India. “More vulgar things have been spoken about on Samay’s show, and if you say cheap things like this in a country like India, it will be hurtful,” he said.
Recalling his own struggles with backlash, Mika revealed, “I had received 500 legal notices for some lyrics in the song Ganpat. Even during Gandi Baat, I got almost 1,000 legal notices.” Despite this, he urged leniency for Samay and Ranveer, stating, “They are kids who became successful, so I urge people to forgive them.”
