In the wake of the recent controversy surrounding the YouTube show "India's Got Latent," Indian-American comedian Akaash Singh has publicly expressed his support for hosts Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. The uproar began when Allahbadia posed an inappropriate question during an episode, leading to widespread public outrage, legal actions, and intense scrutiny from both media and the public.

Addressing the situation, Singh took to social media to highlight the lack of support from the Indian-American entertainment community. He stated, "Not a single Indian American actor, podcaster, or even stand-up comic has said a word about what's going on with Ranveer and Samay back home." Singh emphasized the importance of standing up for fellow artists, even when it's challenging, noting that while supporting certain causes might offer social benefits, advocating for peers in controversial situations is crucial for enacting real change. 

In a podcast episode, Singh delved deeper into the controversy, discussing the show's content and the subsequent backlash. He explained the context to his audience and shared his perspective on the matter, expressing concerns about performing in India due to the unpredictable nature of public and legal reactions to comedic content.

The controversy erupted when Allahbadia, during an episode of "India's Got Latent," asked a contestant a question deemed highly inappropriate. The remark led to multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) being filed against Allahbadia, Raina, and others associated with the show, accusing them of promoting obscenity. The Supreme Court of India intervened, providing Allahbadia with protection from arrest but criticizing his comments as "dirty" and reflective of a "perverted mind.

Singh's support has ignited discussions within the comedy community and among fans. While some appreciate his stance and the emphasis on solidarity among artists, others question the appropriateness of defending content that has been widely condemned. This incident underscores the complex landscape comedians navigate, balancing creative expression with cultural sensitivities and legal boundaries.
