In 2025, the episode of Samay Raina's show, India’s Got Latent, featuring Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani, ignited a major controversy due to explicit remarks made during the recording. Following the episode's release, it sparked widespread outrage, leading to political reactions and multiple FIRs against the creators. Ashish Chanchlani discussed the incident on Prakhar Gupta’s podcast, revealing that he sensed the brewing backlash prior to the episode airing. He noted that the anger against the show had been accumulating for some time, and the explicit content in their episode was a tipping point. Chanchlani recalled advising Allahbadia to tone down his remarks during filming, but the atmosphere was meant to be light-hearted. As the backlash escalated, Chanchlani was the first among the creators to respond to police inquiries, as others went into hiding. He described the challenges of explaining YouTube culture to the authorities and noted that the situation became absurd, with even the Chief Minister of Assam filing a case against them. Despite not feeling personally affected, Chanchlani shared that his family faced harassment online, which deeply impacted them. He expressed relief for having remained silent during the controversial episode, as he felt uncomfortable with his limited participation.
