Dutta noted the strong connection Raina formed with the audience, saying, “For the first time, I saw about seven hundred so-called ‘degenerate’ members of today’s generation cheering for him, while he stood there, tears in his eyes, just before starting his set.” Throughout the show, Raina humorously referenced the controversy, joking, “Iss show pe bahut mauka ayega, jahan aapko lag sakta hai ki main bahot funny kuch bol sakta hoon, par tab Beerbiceps ko yaad kar lena bhai (There will be many moments in this show where you might think I could say something really funny, but in those moments, just remember BeerBiceps, brother).”

Towards the end of his performance, Raina delivered a poignant message. He stated, “Shayad samay kharab chal raha hai mera, par yaad rakhna doston, main samay hoon (Maybe my time is bad right now, but remember, my friends—I am the time).”

India’s Got Latent controversy

For context, the controversy surrounding “India’s Got Latent” escalated following a recent episode in which Ranveer Allahbadia made a controversial joke that didn’t resonate well with viewers. A formal complaint has since been filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission against Ranveer, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and the show’s organizers, citing abusive language and inappropriate remarks made towards women to gain popularity and financial gain.
