India's Got Latent Faces Backlash After Another Controversial Moment: Should The Show Be Canceled?

India’s Got Latent is in the spotlight again, but this time for all the wrong reasons. After a recent incident involving popular YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia, better known as BeerBiceps, the show has sparked outrage across social media. People are now calling for the cancellation of the show, with many demanding an end to what they see as a platform for crude humor and inappropriate content.

The latest controversy erupted after BeerBiceps made a shocking joke during his appearance on the show, which left even the host, Samay Raina, visibly uncomfortable. While Raina is known for his dark humor, BeerBiceps took things too far by asking a contestant an inappropriate question: whether they would rather watch their parents have sex for the rest of their lives or join them to end the situation. The moment was so shocking that Raina could only respond with a stunned “What the f***?” The other judges weren’t much better, as one was heard saying, “Kya ho gaya hai Ranveer bhai ko?”

The backlash was immediate. Fans, who had already been critical of the show for past issues, took to social media to express their disgust. Many felt that the joke was beyond offensive and highlighted the problem with the overall tone of the show. One user tweeted, “This crap show should end. Sex jokes, vulgar language, racism, North-South hate etc. is being shown in the name of Dark humour. Ban India’s Got Latent.” Another wrote, “#IndiasGotLatent should be BANNED. I strongly object to the statement given by all of you, it cannot be forgiven, delete that entire episode and apologise to the whole of India.” The flood of criticism is not just limited to one incident but a growing trend that viewers have noticed over time.

This is far from the first time India’s Got Latent has faced trouble. Just a few weeks ago, contestant Jessy Nabam found herself in legal hot water after an FIR was filed against her for making controversial comments about eating dog meat. This incident was followed by BeerBiceps’ latest scandal, which only intensified the calls for the show to be pulled off air. On top of that, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has now stepped into the conversation, saying that while everyone has the freedom of speech, it shouldn’t come at the cost of disrespecting others.

Social media continues to heat up with reactions from viewers who believe the show is becoming a breeding ground for toxic humor and offensive content. Some viewers have even questioned the values the show promotes. The question many are asking is whether such controversial moments are really necessary for entertainment. With so many incidents stacked on top of each other, it’s easy to see why people are calling for an end to the show.

India’s Got Latent has also faced criticism for previous moments, including mocking actress Deepika Padukone’s struggles with depression. However, the makers of the show have shown little to no remorse. The judges, including Raina and BeerBiceps, often laugh off these moments, which only fuels the anger among viewers. What started as a lighthearted show has transformed into a lightning rod for controversy, with people growing disillusioned by the rising number of incidents.

The mounting pressure on the show isn’t just coming from online users. Legal action has been taken against the show, with reports of complaints being filed with both the Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission. Many are demanding that strict action be taken against the show’s producers and participants for promoting abusive language and inappropriate content.

So, where does this leave the future of India’s Got Latent? As of now, the show remains on air, but its future seems uncertain. While it might have a loyal fanbase, the growing discontent surrounding it suggests that it might be heading toward its final days. With more and more people expressing their dissatisfaction, it seems like only a matter of time before the show’s creators will have to address the mounting calls for change, or possibly face the consequences of their decisions.

The controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent serves as a reminder of how much power shows and influencers have in shaping public discourse, and how easily that power can be abused. Whether the show will continue or meet its untimely end depends on how the creators handle the backlash. But one thing is for sure: The storm that has erupted around the show isn’t likely to die down anytime soon.
