Samay Raina, respecting the orders of the Commission, gave the assurance to maintain this, stating this assurance would go a long way in ensuring the dignity and respect of women. The National Commission for Women believes that it is the responsibility of all social workers to encourage greater respect and sensitivity for women in society. This case is part of the Commission's ongoing effort to make the media and digital platforms more responsive to women's needs and dignity.

The controversy erupted after comments made by Ranveer Allahbadia about parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's show went viral on social media, sparking widespread backlash.

The cyber cell and the Mumbai police conducted separate investigations in connection with Allahbadia's remarks on Raina’s YouTube show ‘India's Got Latent’.
