The controversy sparked by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s remark on Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent, has snowballed into a massive backlash, drawing legal trouble for several celebrities and influencers associated with the show. The outrage stemmed from Allahbadia’s distasteful question to a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?” The Internet swiftly condemned the remark, deeming it highly inappropriate. Though Allahbadia issued an apology, the damage had already been done.

Amid the uproar, Samay Raina, who hosted the show, decided to delete not only the controversial episode but all episodes of India’s Got Latent. He expressed that the backlash has been “too much to handle,” leading many to question the show’s future. Meanwhile, the controversy has reignited discussions about humor boundaries in public entertainment. As this debate rages on, an old joke by comedian Kapil Sharma from his Comedy Nights with Kapil days has resurfaced and gone viral on social media.

In the clip, Kapil humorously speaks about two things that excite Indians—cinema and cricket. Referring to children waking up early for cricket matches but never for studies, he quips, “Cricket ka match shuru hona tha 4 baje, aur phir yeh maa baap ki kabaddi dekh ke so jaate hain” (The cricket match was to start at 4 am, but they end up watching their parents’ kabaddi and go back to sleep).
