The second season of 'India's Got Latent' is streaming on Netflix and YouTube. Samay Raina made a strong comeback after more than a year away from the public eye following the 'India's Got Latent' controversy.
For those unversed, the 'India's Got Latent' controversy began in February last year after Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija appeared as panellists on the show. A remark made by Allahbadia triggered widespread backlash, following which FIRs were filed against Samay Raina and others involved.
Following the controversy, Raina removed the show from YouTube, while Allahbadia later issued a public apology.
