Samay Raina Drops Fresh Update On India’s Got Latent

On Thursday, Samay took to Instagram to announce the return of his favourite chess tournament, joking that he was bringing it back “for old times’ sake”. However, many fans quickly flooded his direct messages asking about India’s Got Latent Season 2 and wondering why there had been no major announcement yet.

Responding in his trademark humorous style, Samay first shared a meme from his comedy special Still Alive before finally revealing what fans had been waiting to hear.

Posting a behind-the-scenes image from the set, he wrote, “Uski bhi shooting chal rahi hai dostoooo (That’s being shot too, friends).”

The photo showed Samay holding a microphone while comedian Balraj Ghai stood behind him. The rest of the panel members were intentionally hidden from view, seemingly to maintain suspense around the upcoming season.

Viral Set Picture Had Already Triggered Speculation

This is not the first time Season 2 has made headlines in recent weeks. Earlier this month, a leaked image believed to be from the sets of India’s Got Latent Season 2 surfaced online and quickly went viral across social media platforms.

The picture allegedly showed actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari sitting on the panel alongside Balraj Singh Ghai and comedian Aashish Solanki. The image immediately fuelled speculation that the two actors could appear as celebrity guests in the new season.

So far, neither the actors nor the makers of the show have issued any official confirmation regarding their involvement.

The Controversy That Led To The Show’s Removal

India’s Got Latent landed in controversy in February 2025 after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia appeared on the show alongside Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija.

During the episode, Ranveer’s remarks drew intense backlash online, leading to widespread criticism across social media. Although he later apologised publicly, multiple FIRs were reportedly filed against Ranveer, Samay and the show itself.

The controversy escalated further as Apoorva allegedly received rape and death threats, while restrictions were imposed on Ranveer’s podcast uploads. In the aftermath of the backlash, Samay removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from YouTube.
