Uorfi Javed Defends Samay Raina Amid India’s Got Latent Row, Says They Don’t Deserve Jail For That!
The legal action on Samay Raina has drawn actress and social media personality Uorfi Javed into the conversation.
A recent episode of Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent, featuring content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Mukhija, has sparked a major controversy. Ranveer Allahbadia posed a deeply inappropriate and disturbing question to a contestant, asking them to choose between two highly offensive scenarios involving their parents. The clip quickly went viral, and many internet users and public figures condemned the comment.
They called it irresponsible and a prime example of online creators going too far for views. The fallout has been significant. Beyond the initial backlash against Ranveer Allahbadia, a complaint has now been filed against both him and comedian Samay Raina for alleged “abusive language” on the show. This legal action has drawn actress and social media personality Uorfi Javed into the conversation.
