Comedian Samay Raina faced controversy and legal complaints in February 2025 over India's Got Latent after guest Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks, yet returned with five Season 2 episodes. Shehzad Poonawalla praised Raina's character, citing a viral moment that revealed compassion and parental devotion. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis later felicitated Raina, who joked about his longstanding association with Maharashtra Cyber.
