Ranveer Allahbadia, a popular content creator, has been in the news once again after comedian Samay Raina’s special Still Alive. The creator had landed in trouble in 2025 after his appearance on Raina’s popular YouTube show India’s Got Latent. He faced backlash for asking an inappropriate question involving parents and sex. Ranveer Allahbadia reacts to Samay Raina's special Now, Raina has released a new special titled Still Alive, where he addressed the controversy and revealed that Allahbadia had asked the controversial question eight times, many of which were edited out. He also claimed that several other inappropriate remarks were removed. Now, Ranveer has reacted to the special. Ranveer was recently spotted in a paparazzi video shared by Shailesh Pandey, where he was all smiles while interacting. At one point, the paparazzo jokingly told him, “Hum dono ka samay chal raha hai….” When Samay Raina’s name came up, he didn’t miss a beat and replied, “Samay… kaun Samay? Kya Samay? Humara time. It’s our time, my time is now.” In another video, Ranveer was seen seemingly taking a subtle dig at the jokes made about him. He said, “Tareefein toh sunai de rahi hain… tareef hum tak pahunch jaati hai. Jitni zyada positivity aap andar rakhoge, utni zyada aap attract karte ho. Main bohot mazaak kiya bhi hoon… good sense of humour. Smile karte rehna chahiye.” Why did Samay not edit Ranveer’s question? In his new special released on YouTube on Monday, Samay Raina addressed the big question, why didn’t he edit out the controversial question? He said, “Main tumhe maa ki kasam sach batata hoon. Uss episode mein BeerBiceps ne woh sawal 8 baar poocha tha. Aur iske alawa bhi kai anap-shanap sawal pooche the usne. Toh jab maine edit dekha, maine kaha, ‘Yeh toh bahut gandi baatein kari hain isne.’ (I swear, in that episode, BeerBiceps asked that question eight times. Apart from that, he asked a lot of inappropriate questions. When I saw the edit, I realised he had said many obscene things.)” He added, “Chalo ek rakh deta hoon, baaki sab hata deta hoon. Toh mere POV se maine toh 99 percent keetanu maar diye the. (I thought I would keep one instance and remove the rest. From my point of view, I had eliminated 99 percent of the ‘germs’.)”
13 April,2026 12:49 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentComedian Samay Raina’s latest comedy special, Still Alive, has been released on his YouTube channel. In the special, he speaks openly about the India’s Got Latent controversy that unfolded in early 2025. His hugely popular show was shut down following a controversial comment by influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, who appeared as a panellist. Eventually, everyone associated with the show was summoned by authorities. Apoorva Mukhija, who was part of the episode, also faced legal action and backlash on social media for a comeback she gave to a contestant who was being disrespectful towards her. Samay Raina on Apoorva's controversial comment on India's Got Latent On his show, Samay addressed the hate Apoorva received and the FIRs filed against her. He said he was proud of her response. During the episode of India's Got Latent, a rapper contestant made a derogatory remark towards Apoorva, asking her an inappropriate question. While Samay initially thought he would edit out the comment, Apoorva responded with a sharp retort. Samay joked that he felt slightly jealous of Apoorva, as he admired her comeback. “What a punchline she delivered. What a comeback to have in that moment. She outdid four comedians. I was very jealous, but also very proud of her,” he said. He further explained that the moment went beyond just a verbal exchange. “Some things in life have layers. This wasn’t just Apoorva responding to a rapper—it was a woman standing up for herself and winning against a man,” he said, adding that it was a powerful moment that gave him goosebumps. Samay also reflected on the societal context, saying that in a patriarchal setup where women are often not expected to speak up, Apoorva’s response was significant. However, he noted that such moments often come at a cost, referring to the FIRs filed after the incident. Why did Samay not edit Ranveer's question?

She paired the dress with diamond and emerald jewellery including a statement necklace and matching earrings. Her styling leaned toward Old Hollywood glamour, finger-wave style curls, luminous makeup, and subtle smoky eye accents.
