Amid the heated controversy surrounding influencer Ranveer Allahbadia's objectionable remarks on India’s Got Latent, a clip from another episode of the show has surfaced and is going viral.

Netizens are now jokingly blaming him for the recent controversy surrounding the show.
Video of another episode of India's Got Latent goes viral
In the video, the contestant shares, “Main ek school jaata tha wo home school tha like nursery, Kindergarten, wo school band ho gya, phir main dusre school mein gya, jab main 8th mein tha, us school mein 10th class mein teen bacchey they, phir wo school bhi band ho gya. Phir teesre school mein gya (I used to go to a school that was a home school, like nursery and kindergarten, but that school shut down. Then I joined another school, and when I was in 8th grade, there were only three students in the 10th grade. That school also shut down. Then I moved to a third school).”

Host Samay Raina then quips, “Ab aap India’s Got Latent mein aaye hain, agar ye band ho gya na...”
The contestant continues, “Mera college bhi band ho gya tha and jis company mein meri placement hui thi wo bhi band ho gya tha (My college also shut down, and the company where I got placed also shut down).”
Netizens call the contestant, reason behind the row
The clip has left the internet in splits, with users flooding the comments section with witty reactions.
One user joked, “Isko America and China bhej do.” Another quipped, “Lol.. This guy's streak is remaining unbroken.” A third comment read, “Bro is on a generational run.” Meanwhile, another user wrote, “Bhai, he's the real reason.”
Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remark & backlash
The controversy erupted after a clip from India’s Got Latent featuring Ranveer Allahbadia making an offensive remark went viral. During the episode, the podcaster asked a contestant an inappropriate question: “Would you rather watch your parents having sex all your life or join in once and stop it forever?” The remark was met with widespread outrage, with netizens slamming its distasteful nature.
Following the backlash, Allahbadia released a video statement on social media, admitting his mistake. “My comment wasn't just inappropriate; it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry,” he said.
He further added, “I don’t want to provide context or reasoning. I personally had a lapse in judgment. It wasn’t cool on my part.” His apology came hours after the controversy gained traction online.
Legal action & episode's removal from YouTube
Meanwhile, a complaint has been filed in a Mumbai court, seeking a police investigation against Ranveer Allahbadia and others, including Samay Raina.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) also released a statement demanding strict action against both Ranveer and Samay, calling for an immediate ban on the show.
In response to the growing controversy, the contentious episode of India’s Got Latent has now been removed from YouTube.
