Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia have been under fire ever since their controversial remarks on the ‘India’s Got Latent’ out sparked an online fury. After multiple complaints and FIRs, they found themselves in the middle of legal proceedings. The internet and fans are currently divided, as some believe the YouTubers are getting what they deserve, while others believe the whole matter has been blown out of proportion. Amid all this, recently stand-up comedian Daniel Fernandes asked India’s Got Latent fans not to worry about Samay Raina.
Taking a jibe at the state of affairs in the country, Daniel in his recent gig assured that Samay would be out of this case after writing an essay.
According to a Livemint report, during his recent show, Daniel said, “There are a lot of Samay fans in the country that are quite worried for him. Is that right? Are you worried about him? Don’t be, because with the way things are done in this country, all they’ll ask him to do is write a 300-word essay, and he’ll be out.”
He continued, “Dude here’s the thing okay, India definitely has a sense of humour. We just don’t know it.”
Further, Daniel Fernandes also mentioned Ranveer Allahbadia and the outrage his remarks caused. “Have you guys followed the news this past week? Just one headline everywhere because all the other issues in India have been resolved. Outrage in Indian comedy is like flu season. Every six months somebody will watch a video and go… my sentiments,” Fernandes mentioned.
At the same time, he acknowledged the seriousness of the matter as things have taken a legal course. “But this time the backlash is quite severe. Have you noticed? There are some catastrophic consequences of what has happened. Multiple FIRs were filed, videos were taken down,” said the comedian.
Meanwhile, as per the SC verdict, Samay, Ranveer, and Apoorva have been banned from airing any show. Ranveer has been given an interim bail, but his passport has been confiscated.
