Ranveer Allahbadia has been in the news this week for all the wrong reasons. His distasteful comment in Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent has garnered criticism from every part of the country.
After several FIRs and complaints, Raina deleted all the episodes of his show and wrote, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s 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. Thank you.”
Did you know Samay Raina earns Rs 1.5 crore monthly from ‘India’s Got Latent’? The comedian enjoys a net-worth of Rs 140 crore. He studied print engineering course at PVG’s COET in Pune. He was born into a Kashmiri Pandit family in Jammu.
Samay Raina has over 5.9 million followers on Instagram and 7.33 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. His earnings come from YouTube ad revenue, subscribers, brand deals, and comedy shows among other sources.
Termed as ‘an unnecessary reality show’, the first episode of India’s Got Latent premiered on 14 June 2024 on YouTube.
According to one of its opening lines, “It’s a pointless reality but it has a very interesting point system.” Contestants from across the country have 1 minute 30 seconds to show their talent, be it singing, dancing, magic, or comedy, before a panel of judges.
Before the performance, each contestant will rate themselves, and if the judges’ average rating matches it, they win and receive the full proceeds from that day’s ticket sales.
