Vishal Dadlani Calls Samay Raina-Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy ‘Hypocritical Prudish Nonsense’
Music composer Vishal Dadlani has spoken out about the ongoing controversy involving YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and comedian Samay Raina on the show India’s Got Latent. Calling the backlash “hypocritical prudish nonsense,” he hinted that the issue might be more about controlling online content in India than the actual controversy itself.
Dadlani, who has been a panelist on the show, shared his views on Instagram on February 18. Referring to Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial question—“Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”—he wrote, “Would you let #SamayRaina feel up your hairy arms every day, or join in once to stop the absolutely hypocritical prudish nonsense that’s going on right now?”
Dadlani suggested that this controversy could be part of an ongoing effort by authorities to regulate online content. He added, “The government wanted to control online content. They’ve been trying and getting stopped for a long time. Now, in this wave of TV-generated outrage, people are giving away their own freedom. Not to mention… ‘what Kumbh stampede deaths?’ Samjhe?”
The controversy erupted after Allahbadia’s remarks received significant backlash from the public and political figures. He appeared alongside Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jasprit Singh as guest panelists on the controversial India’s Got Latent episode with Samay Raina.
