 "India's Got Latent: From making fun of Deepika's depression to offensive language about people with disabilities: When Samay's show grabbed eyeballs before Ranveer's distasteful joke")
Comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent is making noise for all the wrong reasons. Ranveer Allahbadia’s joke on parents’ s*x has gone viral and he has been slammed severely for it. Here are the instances when the show went below the belt and cracked lewd and ludicrous jokes:
A video was going viral on social media where a lady comedian could be seen mocking Deepika Padukone ’s depression. It all happened on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent, comprising comedian Samay Raina, actor and producer Raghu Ram, comedian Tanmay Bhat, neurologist Dr Sid Warrier, and Balraj Singh Ghai, owner of Habitat.
A woman named Bunty Banerjee cracked a joke on Padukone and said, “Deepika Padukone also became a mother recently, right? Great. Now she knows what depression really looks like.” And users slammed her left, right, and centre as video went viral.
A contestant Jessy Nabam said people of Arunachal Pradesh often consume dog meat. He said, “I know this because my friends do, and sometimes they even eat their pets.” A FIR was registered against him later.
They even mocked Uorfi Javed and she later walked out of the show and broke her silence on the same.
Taking to Instagram, she later wrote, “I think I missed the memo, nowadays people think it’s cool to abuse someone or just s**t shame someone for some views. I’m sorry but I’m not ok with anyone abusing me, s**t shaming me for my body counts (which they don’t know but they just assumed it must be high). All this for what? For 2 mins of fame? The guy who abused me wasn’t even joking, he got legit mad at me when I asked him why he was faking being handicapped! He just abused me on the stage infront of so many people.”
Jaspreet Singh Lands In Racism Row
The political view of a contestant who said “I don’t vote" was made fun of by comedian Jaspreet Singh.
Stereotyping the regional accent and hinting at her Malayali roots, Jaspreet said, “Kerala saar, 100% literacy saar."
