‘These youngsters think they know everything’; Indian supreme court warns Samay Raina

The Indian Supreme Court has issued a strong warning to comedian Samay Raina, urging YouTubers to act responsibly. The court stated that if vloggers do not correct their behavior, it knows how to deal with them.

The warning came in response to Raina’s controversial remarks made in Canada during his show India Got Latent. The issue was raised while the court was hearing a petition related to podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, whose remarks on Raina’s show sparked a major controversy.

During the hearing, Justice Surya Kant criticized young content creators, saying, "These youngsters think they are too clever and know everything. One of them went to Canada and started discussing these matters there."

He further remarked, "They have no understanding of the court’s boundaries, and perhaps they do not realize the extent of this court’s jurisdiction."

Samay Raina, who was in Canada last month for his Samay Raina Unfiltered tour, addressed the controversy in a humorous way. At the beginning of his show, he joked, "Thank you! You guys have paid for my lawyer’s fees."

The controversy started when YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia talked about parents and relationships during an episode of India Got Latent. 

After controversy Saimy Rana wrote on his instgarm story, "Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias 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.

His comments led to widespread backlash, with the issue even being discussed in Parliament. Several complaints were filed against him, escalating the matter further.
