Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Makes Comeback On YouTube After Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube months after controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia. Fans hail it as the 'best comeback ever.' Four months after being embroiled in a major controversy, India's Got Latent — the YouTube talent show hosted by comedian Samay Raina — has quietly made a return, albeit on a different channel. The show was pulled down earlier this year after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread backlash for making an inappropriate comment to a contestant involving their parents. The controversial remark led to public outrage and legal repercussions, with multiple FIRs filed against Ranveer, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. Following the incident, Samay Raina took down all episodes from his official channel and issued a public statement expressing his distress. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India's Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time," he wrote. He also confirmed his full cooperation with authorities investigating the matter. Now, months later, the show's segments have reappeared online — not on the original channel but on a newly active page titled India's Got Latent Clips. The revived clips include content from public and members-only episodes, with over 500 videos currently available for viewing. Fans of the show have welcomed its digital return with open arms. Comments like '2025 is the year of comeback," 'Best comeback everrr," and 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka" have flooded the clips, suggesting that the core audience has remained loyal despite the controversy. Meanwhile, Samay Raina is currently touring internationally, performing across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. His tour, which began on June 5, will conclude in Sydney on July 20. Whether this quiet return marks a full revival for the show or merely serves as a nostalgic archive remains to be seen — but for now, India's Got Latent seems to be back in the algorithm.

Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda booked under SC/ST Act for derogatory remarks against tribals

Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda has been booked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act by the Raidurgam police for allegedly making derogatory remarks against tribal communities during a public event. The case was booked following a complaint filed by Nenavath Ashok Kumar Naik, State President of the Joint Action Committee of Tribal Communities, citing the comments made by the actor on April 26, 2025, during the pre-release event of the film Retro. According to the First Information Report (FIR), seen by The Hindu, the actor allegedly referred to tribal people as lacking intelligence and common sense and likened them to Pakistani terrorists. 'He insulted their tribal community by saying that they had beaten them 500 years ago without any intelligence and minimum common sense. Moreover, he made comments comparing them to Pakistani terrorists,' the complainant said. Attaching the YouTube link in the written complaint, Mr. Naik stated that these comments were not only offensive but deeply insulting to the dignity and self-respect of the tribal community. He said that the content was shared across multiple media channels, including YouTube via Sithara Entertainment's channel, drawing widespread criticism. Investigation is under way.

Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh faces backlash after calling Yuzvendra Chahal ‘cartoon'; fans say ‘what a shame'

Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh became a victim of social media backlash after she called another Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal a 'cartoon'. The incident took place during a YouTube show hosted by former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta Basra. In the show, Harbhajan and Geeta show Rohit and Ritika pictures of certain cricketers asking the latter couple to what comes to their minds after seeing their pictures. The first picture that came out was Shikhar Dhawan with Rohit calling him 'Jaatta'. The next picture that came out was of Chahal. While Rohit took a pause (along with a cheeky smile) to get the exact word, Ritika came up with a spontaneous response, 'cartoon,' leaving everyone in splits. 'Usually he is a cartoon,' added Ritika. The clip went viral in no time. Ritika calling Chahal a 'cartoon' didn't go well with the fans as they left no stone unturned to criticise Rohit's wife on social media. 'Such a shameless behaviour, who gave her right to call Yuzi a cartoon…But now no one will have a problem with it, Imagine the outrage if Anushka Had said that,' one user said.
