The clip began circulating shortly after the latest season of the show premiered on Netflix, leading some social media users to mistakenly believe it was part of the new season.

Reacting to the viral video on X, Priyanka Chaturvedi initially believed it had been broadcast as part of the show's latest season. She wrote, "No lessons learnt. But now backed by @NetflixIndia & @YouTube for broadcasting this trash misogynistic content masked as humour. Now waiting for his genZ fans to begin their rant in my mentions."

Her post quickly gained traction before it emerged that the circulating footage was actually from the show's 2024 season rather than the newly released season. India's Got Latent Season 2: Why Samay Raina's Show Now Has an 11-Member Legal Team.

Journalist Sudhir Chaudhary also criticized the clip on X, writing: "This is not comedy. This is poison. Seems this person will never improve. Very sad to see @NetflixIndia and @YouTubeIndia giving platform to such poor content. Society and Govt must ACT…NOW before it’s too late."

What Happened in the Viral Video?

The resurfaced video shows a woman leaving the audience midway through the show while attending with her boyfriend. Curious about the situation, Samay Raina asks why she suddenly walked out.

The man replies that she had rushed home after learning her father had suffered a "minor heart attack." Noticing that the boyfriend remained seated, Samay questioned why he was not accompanying her during the family emergency.

He then joked: "Abhi jaake rota na, bhai kandha dega tabhi woh head degi (Go cry for her. Give her your shoulder, and she will give you head)."

The remark has since been widely shared across social media, drawing criticism from several users who described it as misogynistic and insensitive, while also reigniting broader debates over the boundaries of stand-up comedy and whether controversial jokes should be protected as part of comedic expression.

The timing of the clip's resurgence has drawn particular attention as it coincides with the release of the latest season of India's Got Latent on Netflix.

Although the viral footage predates the new season, its circulation has sparked renewed online discussions about the show's content, platform responsibility and the evolving conversation around humour, gender sensitivity and audience expectations in digital entertainment.
