Resurfaced India's Got Latent Clip and CJP Founder Criticism Spark Debate
A clip from India's Got Latent season 1 featuring comedian Samay Raina making a sexually suggestive joke about a contestant's girlfriend has resurfaced, drawing criticism for normalising misogynistic humour. This renewed backlash follows the earlier controversy involving guest Ranveer Allahbadia and the recent 'Rs 370 biryani' row. Separately, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke publicly criticised the show's approach and called Samay 'privileged,' sparking debate online due to Dipke's own educational background in the US. The show's second season continues amid mixed reactions.
