In a recent episode of "India's Got Latent," Allahbadia appeared as a guest judge and asked a contestant an inappropriate question. This remark led to significant backlash, resulting in a police complaint against Allahbadia for promoting obscenity. The complaint was filed with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the National Commission for Women. Subsequently, the Mumbai Police initiated an inquiry and registered an FIR against Allahbadia and others involved. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis condemned the remarks, emphasizing the importance of respecting societal norms. Facing widespread criticism, Allahbadia issued a video apology, acknowledging his poor judgment and confirming that the controversial segments had been removed from the show's recording. He admitted that his attempt at humour was both inappropriate and unfunny, conceding that comedy isn't his strength.

In the aftermath, Rakhi took to social media to defend fellow judge Ranveer Allahbadia, who faced backlash for making a lewd comment during the show. She expressed her support for him amidst the criticism. The controversy intensified when the Maharashtra Cyber Cell registered a case against approximately 30 to 40 individuals associated with the show, including Rakhi Sawant and actor Siddhant Chaturvedi. They have been summoned for questioning regarding objectionable content aired during the episodes.
Aly Goni also came out in support of Samay Raina and shared how the comedian was forced to delete what he had worked hard to entertain his fans with a new concept. Aly wrote, "They forced Samay to delete all the episodes of Latent�?not cool�?that one episode should have been deleted, that's it. He has worked hard to make this show successful. Where everyone was praising him a few days back, now everyone is against him lol kya yaar."
Ranveer Allahbadia, aka BeerBiceps, faced backlash for asking a controversial and inappropriate question on India’s Got Latent, leading to widespread condemnation and a police complaint against him and several judges, including Samay Raina. Following the outrage, Samay removed all episodes from YouTube, and Ranveer issued an apology. Amid this controversy, an old clip of Kapil Sharma from Comedy Nights with Kapil resurfaced, where he joked about children watching their parents�?"kabaddi" after waking early for cricket. Opinions were divided, with some defending Kapil’s humor and others criticizing him. Social media highlighted differences in intent between Kapil’s joke and Ranveer’s comment.
Arshi Khan reacted, "Ranveer Allahabadia is one of the worst examples in society today. I wonder how can one even think about it. It shows how such boys see things around them. Everyone has parents at home. Before asking the question, I would want to know if he himself got an answer to the same! It's a shame when we see few celebrities coming out in support of such losers."
