What¡¯s the fuss about?
For those out of the loop, comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina landed in controversy after an episode of India¡¯s Got Latent featuring Ranveer Allahbadia resurfaced online. The show¡¯s no-holds-barred humor went a little too far when Ranveer made a scandalous ¡°parental sex¡± joke that triggered massive outrage. The question that sparked it all? ¡°Would you rather watch your parents have s*x every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?¡± Yikes.
Following the viral outrage, a police complaint was filed against Samay, Ranveer, and fellow co-judges Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija. The backlash was swift, and it didn¡¯t take long for the pressure to mount.
