Actor Pankaj Tripathi has weighed in on the much discussed and debated controversy around comedian Samay Raina's show 'India's Got Latent'. The show landed in legal trouble when panellist Ranveer Allahbadia made a remark about 'parents and sex'. While the joke was heavily criticised it also invited legal trouble for the popular Youtuber and podcaster and Samay Raina. Multiple FIRs have been lodged against Ranveer in different parts of the country. So far, ministers and other celebrities have shared their views on this matter as well. Actor Pankaj Tripathi has also reacted to the controversy around the show and the larger discussion on censorship on digital content.
Talking to Indian Express, Tripathi questioned fame and the responsibility to talk sense that comes with it. "The thing with the internet is that a lot of people become popular faces all of a sudden. They find name and fame, but where is the sensibility? Do they have the required intelligence, in terms of literary knowledge, social behaviour, etc? Society is a lot of things, and one needs to know the cultural value of the society we are living in,” said Pankaj.
