She also said she will continue to support digital creators like Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia and others, no matter what mistakes they have made in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we were shooting for a show, Samay asked me if I would attend the next season of his comedy talent show.

I had spoken to Ranveer (Allahbadia).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mahvash added that she received support from fellow creators during her first production.<\/p>\n<p>She invited a few people to the trailer launch of Section 108, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Regina Cassandra.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know them personally. For me, Ranveer, Ashish and all of them were big names, so I called them for the trailer launch and they all showed up. For me, that is real friendship. However wrong they may be, I will still support them. I agree that they were wrong, but humans do make mistakes. So let&#8217;s not roast them further. I know them as humans and they are great guys. They never cross their line and disrespect others,&#8221; Mahvash recalled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ranveer Allahbadia came under fire when he made a remark about parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina&#8217;s show India&#8217;s Got Latent last year. He asked a contestant, &#8220;Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The comment sparked huge backlash on social media and raised debate about obscenity in comedy. Politicians across party lines also joined the controversy, demanding action against the podcaster.<\/p>\n<p>Ranveer Allahbadia and others, including Samay Raina and the producers of India&#8217;s Got Latent, were summoned on February 17 by the National Commission for Women over derogatory comments.<\/p>\n<p>Assam police filed a case against the 31-year-old podcaster along with Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija and Samay Raina.<\/p>\n<p>Following the backlash, Allahbadia, who has a huge social media following, issued an apology.<\/p>\n<p>Samay Raina deleted all India&#8217;s Got Latent videos from his YouTube channel after the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Samay returned with an hour-long episode titled Still Alive, in which he addressed the backlash, his emotional breakdown, the impact on his mental health and how he bounced back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor and former RJ Mahvash confirmed that she will be part of India&#8217;s Got Latent Season 2 during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,214055,17,214054,20017,191853,128],"class_list":["post-490457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-india039sgotlatentrow","tag-ireland","tag-rj-mahvash","tag-samay-raina","tag-samay-raina-controversy","tag-tv"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116595225581789523","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
