New Delhi (Vishvas News): Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ recently stirred a controversy, after which he apologised and removed the videos from YouTube. Following this, a video has surfaced on social media featuring Raina using abusive language, with claims that this is his way of apologising.
However, Vishvas News’ investigation revealed that this claim is false. The video dates back to 2023 and has no connection to the recent controversy surrounding the show.
What is going viral?
X user Piyush Raval shared the viral video on February 11, 2025, with the caption, “Samay Raina issues apology video after ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy.”
Here is the archived link of the post.
Investigation
We started our investigation with a Google reverse image search. Using Google Lens, we analysed the screenshots of the viral video and found the full version of this video uploaded on a YouTube channel KSHMR on Nov 2, 2023. According to the video description, it was from the Karam album launch party. At the 10-minute mark, Samay Raina can be heard making the same statement as in the viral clip.
We also found this part of the clip in many memes throughout 2023-24.
An episode of YouTuber and comedian Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ sparked controversy over an objectionable comment by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia.
Following the controversy, Samay Raina apologised in an X post on February 12, 2025 stating, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you. “
For further verification we contacted Smita Srivastava, Principal Correspondent—entertainment beat for Dainik Jagran. She confirmed that this clip is not recent, but from 2023, when Samay Raina remarked during an album launch party performance.
Lastly, we scanned the account of X user Piyush Raval, who shared the video with a false claim and found that the user has 18 followers.
Conclusion: Vishvas News investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video of Samay Raina making abusive comments dates back to 2023 and is not related to the recent ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy.
