Comedian Samay Rainas show, Indias Got Latent, a platform showcasing diverse talents, has unfortunately garnered more attention for its controversies than its content. Despite its aim to entertain, the show has repeatedly landed in hot water due to insensitive jokes, culturally inappropriate remarks, and allegations of harassment, raising questions about the boundaries of comedy and the responsibility of content creators. These incidents have sparked widespread outrage and debate, casting a shadow over the shows intended purpose. Here are 4 such incidents:
1. Insensitive Joke about Deepika Padukone's Depression
A contestant made a joke about Deepika Padukone's past struggles with depression, which many viewers found offensive and trivialising to mental health issues.
2. Remarks about Dog Meat
A contestant from Arunachal Pradesh faced legal action after discussing the consumption of dog meat in her region, sparking outrage and an FIR for allegedly disrespecting the local community.
3. Costume Cutting Act
A performance involving a model's dress being cut into a revealing outfit drew criticism for being inappropriate, especially after it was revealed the model was married with a child.
4. Uorfi Javed's Walkout
Uorfi Javed left the show after alleging she was verbally abused and body-shamed by two contestants. She stated that the abuse wasn't comedic and that she refused to tolerate such behaviour.
