Amid the raging debate around Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's controversial remark in its latest episode, comedian Maheep Singh has ended his silence and has taken a dig at the public outrage.

Maheep, who had appeared as a guest in one of the now-deleted episodes of India's Got Latent, took to his Instagram handle and wrote, "Dark (andhera) reh gaya, comedy chali gayi."

The 50-year-old comedian has not yet directly addressed the legal action against Ranveer and Samay.

What is the India's Got Latent row?

For those still unversed, it all began after Ranveer appeared as a guest in the latest episode of India's Got Latent, which is hosted by Samay Raina. During the episode, Ranveer asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life — or would you join in once and stop it forever?"

This did not go down well with netizens, who slammed the show and the content creators for promoting vulgarity online. Multiple complaints and FIRs were also filed against Ranveer, Samay and others.

All India's Got Latent episodes deleted

Post the backlash, Ranveer took to his social media handle and issued an unconditional apology, stating that comedy was not his forte, and that there had been a "lapse in judgement" on his part.

Samay, on the other hand, announced on Wednesday that he had deleted all India's Got Latent videos from his YouTube channel, and stated that his intention was to only make people laugh.

"Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias 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 (sic)," he wrote on X.
