FIR lodged on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent contestant

However, recently it is his own show India’s Got Latent, which is under the radar after a contestant from Arunachal Pradesh made controversial comments.

Arunachal Pradesh resident Jessy Nabam made fun of her state’s citizens during one of the most recent episodes. She said that although she had never eaten dog meat, many from Arunachal Pradesh do, in response to Samay Raina’s question about her eating habits.

She joked, “I know because my friends eat it. They even eat their pets at times”. During that moment all the members took it as a joke and one of the panelists, Balraj Singh Ghai even said, “Now, you’re saying it for the sake of saying it.” However, Jessy Nabam insists that it’s true.
