It has been stated that a public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed with the Supreme Court of India, with the intention of pursuing action against him for allegedly negatively impacting the feelings of the crippled population. Despite the fact that Samay has not yet issued a formal public apology or an official statement, the incident has sparked a global conversation on the limits of comedy, the importance of social sensitivity, and the obligations that come with being a public figure. The situation is currently being investigated by the legal system.

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.
