Controversy recap and upcoming documentary
The reunion comes after a year of the IGL controversy, where Allahbadia made an inappropriate comment. His question to a contestant about whether they'd rather watch their parents have sex every day or join in once to stop it sparked nationwide outrage and legal trouble for all involved. The episode also landed fellow guests YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani, influencer Apoorva Mukhija (The Rebel Kid), and comedian Jaspreet Singh in trouble. Raina recently spoke about the ordeal in a new stand-up set.
