Summary: Amid the Ranveer Allahabadia row, Samay Raina removed all India’s Got Latent episodes from YouTube.

The comedian Samay Raina has taken down every episode of his YouTube series "India's Got Latent" after a guest's offensive remark caused a stir. When Ranveer Allahbadia made an insensitive joke during an episode, it sparked much backlash and legal issues.

Raina released a statement in response to the criticism, saying that his main goal was to make people laugh and that his present state of affairs had reached a breaking point. He made it clear that he never meant to injure or insult anyone.

He said, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you.”

The debate has sparked debate about what is considered appropriate comedy and what content makers are expected to do. Regarding the incident, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri said that religion and politics shouldn't stifle artistic freedom.

In light of the ongoing discussion, the incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance comedians must strike in the current digital era between humor and sensitivity.
