Comedians Defended Amid Backlash
Mohit, a long-time fan of Samay Raina, defended the comedian’s character, calling him “the most humble guy” he had ever met. He argued that comedy should be seen as distinct from real-life situations and that people should be able to enjoy humor without taking offense.
“If we start labeling every joke as offensive, there will be no comedy left,” he remarked, echoing Samay Raina’s views on the art form.
Past Contestant Shares Perspective
Arpita Mishra, a former contestant on India’s Got Latent, also weighed in on the controversy. She recalled facing harsh trolling after a lackluster performance but praised comedians like Samay Raina, Balraj, Rahul, Kenny, and Hozay for their support.
She highlighted that Samay even asked for her consent before airing certain footage, reinforcing that the show prioritizes contestant comfort.
“Bhai, hum gaye roast hone ke liye. Hume issue nahi hai… duniya ko kya problem hai? (We went there knowing we’d be roasted. We have no issues—why is everyone else making it one?),” she wrote in Mohit’s post.
