The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has raised strong objections against the YouTube show India’s Got Latent, hosted by Samay Raina. Following a recent episode featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, AICWA has formally requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to impose a ban on the show. The association has also demanded legal action against its creators, hosts, and participants.
AICWA’s Allegations Against India’s Got Latent
AICWA, in an official statement, condemned the show’s content, citing the use of derogatory language and promotion of obscene material. The association stated that the show has crossed all ethical and moral boundaries, violating family values.
“The show’s content is not only offensive but also harmful to society. We demand strict action against those responsible,” AICWA declared in its letter.
The association has urged Bollywood actors, directors, and technicians to boycott Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, and others associated with the show.
Legal Actions and FIRs Filed
Following the controversy, Maharashtra Cyber Cell has registered an FIR against 30 to 40 people linked to India’s Got Latent. Those involved, including the show’s creators, hosts, and judges, will be issued legal notices and summoned for questioning.
Public Reactions and Growing Debate
The demand for a ban has triggered widespread debate regarding digital content regulation. Some argue that India’s Got Latent is a form of satire, while others believe it promotes indecent material. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has yet to respond to AICWA’s appeal, but the controversy has intensified calls for stricter content monitoring.
Conclusion
The future of India’s Got Latent remains uncertain as legal proceedings unfold. AICWA’s push for censorship raises significant concerns about content guidelines for online platforms. Whether the show faces a ban or continues streaming will depend on regulatory decisions in the coming weeks.
