NEW DELHI: Father of controversial YouTuber Samay Raina has refused to break his silence. His show, Indiaโs Got Latent, sparked massive outrage over vulgar and obscene remarks. The controversy exploded after an incest joke went viral. Public anger is boiling over, but Rajesh Raina, a senior journalist, has chosen to stay quiet.
The New Indian team attempted to contact him. He refused to respond. His silence is deafening. It signals immense pressure on the family. But is it guilt, shame, or indifference?
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has condemned the obscene remarks made by Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina on Indiaโs Got Latent, emphasizing that freedom of expression does not justify vulgarity.
He assured strict action against those responsible, while public outrage grows, with some demanding arrests and others calling for the showโs cancellation. Legal experts and social activists continue to push for accountability in digital content.
Rainaโs past misogynistic jokes are now under scrutiny. His comments about women were brushed aside before. Now, they are fueling the fire. People are askingโhow long will he get away with this?

His fatherโs Instagram tells a different story. Lavish stays at Taj Hotels. Luxury trips to Goa. A life of comfort, untouched by the chaos his son has created. The contrast is unsettling.
One question remains. Have Rainaโs parents ever endorsed his dark, degrading humor? Or are they just pretending it doesnโt exist? Their silence is complicity. The public is watching.
During a recent episode, Allahbadia posed an explicit and highly inappropriate question to a contestant:
โWould you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it forever?โ
This shocking exchange quickly went viral, sparking outrage among viewers who condemned the tasteless content and the normalization of obscene conversations in mainstream digital entertainment. Many have also questioned how a self-proclaimed โintellectualโ like Allahbadia, known for hosting business leaders and motivational figures, could endorse and participate in such degrading content.
Rajesh Rainaโs Silence Under Scrutiny
The controversy surrounding Samay Rainaโs show has inevitably dragged his father, Rajesh Raina, into the spotlight. As Group Editor of a popular media platform, Rajesh Raina has built a career rooted in journalistic integrity.
However, his silence on his sonโs controversial show has raised eyebrows. Many wonder if senior Raina disapproves of Samayโs content. Some believe he chooses to stay quiet. Others think he is turning a blind eye to the backlash.

Critics argue that, given Rajesh Rainaโs position in the media, his lack of response is troubling. Should a senior journalist remain silent when his own son is accused of corrupting public discourse with vulgar entertainment?
The Larger Debate on Digital Entertainment
Beyond the father-son contrast, the Indiaโs Got Latent controversy has raised concerns. Content standards in digital entertainment are declining. Creators are pushing shock value and explicit humor for views. The show sets a dangerous precedent for young audiences.
As public outrage mounts, calls for action against the show continue to grow. While Samay Rainaโs supporters argue that comedy should have no boundaries, critics insist that content creators must be held accountable when they cross the line into obscenity and degradation.
With the Indiaโs Got Latent controversy refusing to die down, one key question remains unansweredโwill Rajesh Raina break his silence, or will he continue to distance himself from his sonโs contentious career choices?
