marital rape

is ok? Any and all rape is ok?”

earlier defended her friend Samay Raina, saying that while the comments made on the panel were inappropriate, they don’t warrant jail time. She questioned the harsh reaction, emphasizing that disliking someone's words or actions shouldn’t lead to such extreme consequences.

On India’s Got Latent, Ranveer asked a controversial question to a contestant, sparking severe backlash online. He later apologized and requested the makers to remove the insensitive parts. The episode, which also featured Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh, faced heavy criticism on social media.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) demanded a strict ban on India’s Got Latent and called for action against Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis emphasized limits on freedom of expression, while Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi pledged to raise the issue in Parliament.
