Ranveer Allahbadia says Samay Raina ‘will be back’ amid ‘India’s Got Latent’ probe

YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has spoken out during an ongoing controversy surrounding the now-suspended talent show "India’s Got Latent", offering emotional insight into his mental health and his bond with fellow content creators.

Two months on, the accused— Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and others—are gradually resuming their routines.

However, Samay Raina, the show's host, has stayed away from professional engagements since the controversy unfolded. Ranveer has now offered an update on their friendship and shared thoughts on Samay’s potential return.

“This part of the chaos hurt the most,” he wrote. “When you work, your actions have an impact on your loved ones. But both my parents are warriors. That’s where I get my mentality from. It was tough, but we are getting past it.”

When asked what he feared most during the controversy, the creator admitted it was the possibility of letting down his team members’ families. He said the livelihoods of over 300 employees were at stake due to the backlash.

Despite not having fully “overcome” the fallout, Allahbadia said that he is determined to move forward. “God is with me, I know it,” he wrote.

He also shared a reflective list of what he has lost and gained during the ordeal: “Lost: health, money, opportunity, repute, mental health, peace, parents’ contentment & much more. Gained: transformation, spiritual growth, toughness. Will slowly work towards getting back everything that’s lost. Let the work speak.”

The "India’s Got Latent" controversy, which erupted earlier this year, led to scrutiny by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. On April 15, both Allahbadia and Raina appeared before investigators for their third round of questioning.
