Actor Shekhar Suman recently reacted to Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina's India's Got Latent row, condemning Allahbadia's controversial remark about 'watching parents have sex,' which sparked massive outrage. The comment faced widespread backlash from social media users, public figures, and political leaders, resulting in multiple police complaints against both Allahbadia and Raina.
Speaking to Instant Bollywood, the 62-year-old actor said that Ranveer and Samay are making the entire nation 'sick.' He added, "Iss tarah ka zamana, jahan maa-baap ko lekar gandi baatein ki ja rahi hain, aise logon ko desh se nikal dena chahiye. Inhe wapas nahi laana chahiye—jo log roast ke naam par batameezi kar rahe hain aur YouTube par freedom of speech ke naam par ki, 'Humein bolne ki azadi hai.' Par iska matlab yeh nahi ki aap usse gaaliyon aur gandagi se bhar dein, jo sun kar aadmi beemar ho jaye, pura desh beemar ho jaye."
"Main darkhwast karunga ki aise logon ka show hamesha ke liye band kar dena chahiye aur inhe kahin door, Rangoon bhej dena chahiye," he added.

In the India's Got Latent row, as part of the investigation, Maharashtra Cyber has summoned more than 50 individuals associated with the show, including guests, judges, social media influencers, and comedians.
The controversy erupted after an FIR was filed last month against Apoorva Makhija aka The Rebel Kid, YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and others associated with the India's Got Latent show.
It all started after Ranveer, who appeared as a panelist on Samay's India's Got Latent show, asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents... or join in once and stop it forever?"
After the backlash, Samay Raina deleted India’s Got Latent episodes from YouTube.
