Comedian 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.
