Amid the controversy over Samay Raina’s show and Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks in one of the episodes, other comedians are also facing challenges. Recently, all episodes of India’s Got Latent were taken down, and comedian Harsh Gujral appears to have deleted all videos of his comedy show, The Escape Room. This action comes as Allahbadia’s controversy reaches the Supreme Court.
Harsh Gujral Deletes ‘The Escape Room’ Videos
The controversy surrounding Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent and Ranveer Allahbadia’s comments has caused a major stir in the comedy world. As the situation unfolds, comedian Harsh Gujral has also taken action by deleting all videos of his comedy show The Escape Room from YouTube.
This move comes just days after Samay Raina removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel. It appears that Harsh is following a similar approach. His show, which featured dark humor and bold jokes, premiered in December 2024. However, only two episodes were released before they were taken down.
One of the key elements of The Escape Room was a “confession box” segment, where participants shared surprising and sometimes shocking secrets. While all videos of the show have been removed from YouTube, Harsh has also made the Instagram account for the show private. Despite this, the page still has 34.3K followers.
As of now, Harsh Gujral has not made any public statement about why the episodes were deleted.

Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy Latest Updates
Ranveer Allahbadia is facing backlash over controversial remarks made on Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent. The episode also featured content creator Apoorva Makhija, popularly known as Rebel Kid. During the show, Ranveer allegedly asked a contestant an inappropriate question related to body parts and made an indecent proposal involving ₹2 crores. His comments triggered public outrage, leading to multiple police complaints.
Following the backlash, several FIRs were registered against Ranveer and other influencers involved. Seeking legal relief, he approached the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the court granted him interim protection from arrest but criticized his remarks.

India’s Got Latent Controversy
The show India’s Got Latent, created and hosted by Samay Raina, has come under heavy criticism following a controversial remark made by guest Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps.
