Stand-up comedian Samay Raina, who gained immense popularity with his talent show India’s Got Latent, recently addressed the controversy surrounding a remark made on the show by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps.
The controversial question led to multiple FIRs against Samay and his fellow judges, resulting in a temporary ban on their content. While Ranveer was granted relief by the Supreme Court, Samay has now issued a statement expressing regret.
Following the backlash over Ranveer’s controversial remark, Samay left for his Canada tour. However, after multiple summons, he appeared before the Maharashtra Cyber Police on March 24 in Navi Mumbai.
During questioning, he apologized for the comments made on his show, assuring authorities that such an incident would not happen again. “I feel deep regret for what I said. It happened in the flow of the show, and I had no intention of saying it. I realise that what I said was wrong,” he stated, admitting the controversy affected his mental health and impacted his tour.
While Ranveer’s remark was originally from OG Crew’s Truth or Drink, a resurfaced video revealed comedian Kanan Gill had asked the same question in 2015. Now, fans wonder if and when Samay will return to YouTube.
