Comedian Samay Raina on Wednesday said he has removed all episodes of “India’s Got Latent” from his YouTube channel, days after the show landed in a controversy over a remark by influencer Ranveer Allahbadia.
In his first response since the controversy erupted earlier this week, Raina said he will fully cooperate with all the investigating agencies in their probe.
“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,” Raina, 27, posted on X.
And now, at the music launch of Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal and AR Rahman took a dig at Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ episode. Rahman said, “I think, past week we have seen what all happens when the mouth opens.” Vicky said, “Talk about roasting.”
The Chhaava album launch was nothing short of a musical blitzkrieg, with A.R. Rahman and his team delivering breathtaking performances from the Chhaava album that left the audience spellbound. Each performance was brought to life with the added energy of a dynamic dance troupe, amplifying the intensity of the moment.
The atmosphere was charged with electric energy as the beats, like arrows of rhythm, pierced the air, taking everyone on a captivating journey through melody and Maratha pride. What followed was an insightful interaction between the cast and A.R. Rahman, giving audiences a peek into the soul of the Chhaava album.
Vicky Kaushal said, “It’s truly an honor to be part of Chhaava, especially with the legendary A.R. Rahman sir composing the music. This film marks my first collaboration with him, and watching him perform these beautiful tracks live has been an unforgettable experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Now that the album is launched, I’m incredibly excited for audiences to experience these songs, which are so powerful and I hope it resonates with each one of you.”
Rashmika Mandanna said “Vicky and I are in awe of the honor it has been to collaborate with the unparalleled A.R. Rahman sir on Chhaava. Every song in this album carries a piece of history—stories of love, sacrifice, and duty—woven together so beautifully. Watching Rahman sir bring the emotional depth of the film into the music has been a surreal experience and truly one of the most defining moments of my career. Being part of such a monumental film is a privilege I’ll forever cherish.”
