‘My mental state is not well’; Samay Raina on India’s Got Latent controversy

Indian comedian Samay Raina has admitted that the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent has seriously impacted his mental health and affected his Canada tour.

After multiple summons, Raina finally appeared before Maharashtra Cyber Police in Mumbai to record his statement. He confessed, “I realize that what I said was wrong. It happened in the flow of the show, and I had no intention of saying it.” He assured authorities that he would be more careful in the future to avoid such situations.

Raina also shared that the controversy has taken a toll on him personally, saying, “My mental state is not well due to this whole case. My Canada tour also did not go well.”

For those unfamiliar with the incident, the controversy started on February 10 when YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as Beer Biceps, made inappropriate comments about a family on Raina’s YouTube show. Although Allahbadia later apologized, a complaint was filed against him, Raina, and the show’s organizers.

The situation remains under investigation as the controversy continues to stir reactions online.
