IGL Controversy: What exactly happened?
This is Samay’s first tour in India since the whole “India’s Got Latent” mess earlier this year. If you missed it, that show blew up for all the wrong reasons after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant a seriously inappropriate question—something about watching your parents have sex or joining in to make it stop.
It was, frankly, disturbing. The internet exploded, politicians and celebs weighed in, and the outrage led to FIRs against everyone involved—Samay, Ranveer, and the show’s producers. The show got pulled off YouTube.
Samay showed up before the National Commission for Women not long ago and handed over a written apology, admitting the episode crossed a line.
On a different note, Samay’s been keeping busy overseas too.
He recently wrapped up an international tour with stops all over Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. That tour started in Cologne on June 5 and ended in Sydney on July 20.
