India’s Got Latent row
In one of the episodes of Samay Raina's show India’s Got Latent, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani were featured as panellists. During the episode, a controversial remark made by Ranveer about parents and sex sparked widespread outrage online. Apoorva also faced backlash for allegedly making an inappropriate comment. As a result, multiple FIRs were filed against Apoorva, Ranveer, Samay, and the show's producers. In the wake of the controversy, Apoorva stepped away from social media and refrained from promoting her role in ‘Nadaaniyan’, where she played Khushi's friend.
