The controversy surrounding YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and his appearance on
India’s Got Latent
has intensified, with lawyer and social activist Rahul Easwar filing a formal complaint against Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, influencer Apoorva Makhija, and the show’s organizers. The complaint, lodged with both the Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission, accuses them of using obscene language for publicity and financial gain.
Rahul Easwar took to X, stating, "As a father of two kids in my family, it's time to teach a lesson to
Ultra Liberals
,
FemiNazis
, Far Left for creating such perverted situations. Let's file cases, complaints against these people who are destroying India's culture & misguiding our youngsters, poisoning them." He further claimed that the Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police had forwarded his complaint to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for action.

Meanwhile, the controversy deepened after comedian Jaspreet Singh’s comment about Kerala went viral. During the episode, a contestant from Kerala revealed she had no political leanings and did not vote, prompting ridicule from the panel. Singh then mockingly imitated a Malayali accent, saying, “Kerala, Saar… 100 percent literacy, Saar.” This remark has sparked widespread outrage, with Malayalis calling out the show for promoting regional stereotypes under the guise of humor.
Social media erupted with criticism, with one user posting, “Why Kerala > Better Civic Sense > Cleaner Places > No Pan Stains in Public Places > Better Literacy Rate > No ‘Only Speak in State Language Saar.’ Brings more remittance to India > Produces the best films in the country > The best seafood in the country > No unnecessary honking in traffic.” Another sarcastically wrote, “Kerala saar…. 100% literacy saar…. Get well soon. Will keep you in my prayers…”
