It seems the ripple effect of India's Got Latent controversy has started to take shape. As legal battle continues around the use of words by Ranveer Allahbadia on Samaya Raina's popular YouTube show, comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi is facing its effect. The actor and stand-up comedian's Lucknow shows have been cancelled by the state police, citing concern about law and order. The shows were cancelled following a letter from the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission asking the police to ensure his shows don’t ‘malign women’.

 Women's commission raise concerns regarding language used in Bassi's show 

The UP State Women's Commission vice-chairperson Aparna Yadav wrote a letter to DGP Prashant Kumar on February 14. In the letter, she urged the police to ensure that the comedian's show does not malign women or cancel them. The letter also stressed on the use of inappropriate language in Bassi's previous shows and stressed on the need to maintain decorum.
