Controversy
Controversy surrounding 'India's Got Latent'
In February 2025, YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia appeared on India's Got Latent with Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani. His controversial comments about parents and sex sparked a huge online uproar. Despite apologizing publicly, several FIRs were lodged against him, Raina, and the show. Following the backlash, Raina took down all episodes of the show from YouTube. However, he returned in April 2026 with his stand-up special Still Alive, where he addressed the controversy and its impact on his mental health.
