About India's Got Latent Controversy
In February, Ranveer appeared on Samay Raina’s show India's Got Latent alongside fellow influencers Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija. However, Ranveer’s remarks about parents and sex during the show sparked backlash on social media. Despite issuing a video apology, multiple FIRs were filed against him, Ashish, Apoorva, Samay, and the show’s makers.
On 3 March, the Supreme Court permitted Ranveer to resume uploading his podcasts and shows on social media. However, he was required to submit an undertaking that The Ranveer Show would uphold “morality and decency” and be suitable for all ages. Apoorva, who had deleted all her posts from social media following the controversy, has since returned with a video sharing her experience. Ashish also released a video discussing how he dealt with the situation.
