YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia landed in legal trouble and made headlines at the beginning of 2025 for his comment on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. The influencer and podcast host recently opened up about that phase when filmmaker Farah Khan visited his house for one of his popular cooking vlog episodes. During their conversation, Ranveer reflected on the controversy and spoke about the people who supported him during that difficult time.
Talking about the Latent controversy, Ranveer said, “My podcast was stopped after that; I had to bear a lot. I just prayed to God to return my work to me. I just wanted the opportunity to work because we were not even able to shoot.”
