Samay Raina found himself in hot water after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made controversial comments about parents and sex during an episode of Raina's now-deleted web show India's Got Latent. The remarks sparked a significant uproar, both online and offline, resulting in numerous police complaints being filed against the duo and others associated with the show.
