Sony TV to Delete Episode of Samay Raina from KBC

The “Kaun Banega Crorepati” (KBC) episode including comedian Samay Raina has been deleted by Sony TV. This choice reflects a recent scandal concerning Raina’s internet show, “India’s Got Latent,” where offensive comments sparked widespread indignation and judicial action. Though the KBC show itself lacked any provocative material, Sony TV wants to uphold its family-friendly reputation by separating from the bad press over Raina. This action draws attention to the difficulties broadcasters have in controlling content and the balance Indian television’s free speech against social duty.
