Mumbai, March 25 (NationPress) Comedian Samay Raina has released a statement as the buzz surrounding his reality show ‘India’s Got Latent’ continues to fade.
The comedian expressed his regret regarding the events that unfolded on the show. In his official statement to the authorities, he mentioned, “I will exercise more caution to ensure such incidents do not recur. My mental health is suffering due to this entire situation. My tour in Canada also didn’t go as planned. I apologize for my comments, as I recognize they were inappropriate.”
Previously, Samay postponed his return to India and also adjusted his tour schedule. The comedian recently updated his followers through his Instagram Stories, where he shared a note indicating that he has rescheduled his India tour and assured ticket holders that their refunds will be processed shortly.
He stated, “Hello everyone, I am rescheduling my India tour. You will receive your refunds soon, see you shortly.”
This statement follows the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy that captured national attention last month, amid the ongoing social unrest triggered by the release of ‘Chhaava’.
The uproar began after remarks made by Ranveer Allahbadia concerning parents and sex during comedian Samay Raina's show went viral on social media, leading to significant public backlash.
Video footage reveals that Ranveer, a podcaster, posed the question, “Would you prefer to watch your parents having sex or join them once and end it permanently?”
In response to the public outcry, several police complaints were lodged against Allahbadia and others connected to the show in both Mumbai and Guwahati. The cyber cell and the Mumbai police are conducting independent investigations related to Allahbadia's comments made on Raina's YouTube program ‘India's Got Latent’.
