Controversial comedian Samay Raina has landed in more trouble. After he was booked by the Mumbai Police over ‘vulgar’ remarks made by YouTuber and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia on his show, India’s Got Lalent, Raina’s shows in Gujarat now stand cancelled.

The comedian, currently in Seattle, US, has a series of Standup performances scheduled in Vadodara on April 18, Ahmedabad on April 19 and April 20, and Surat on April 17 with tickets selling out completely.

However, all scheduled shows at the three venues have now been cancelled. In fact, tickets that were available on BookMyShow Wednesday morning were taken down by noon.

To prevent online “moral” protests from escalating into real-world disruptions, Samay Raina’s 1.5-hour shows have been canceled.

What was the controversy?

YouTuber and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, who received the Disruption of the Year award at the National creator Awards from PM Narendra Modi, was booked along with Raina and by the Mumbai Police for ‘vulgar remarks’ and misusing the freedom of speech.

A complaint accuses Allahbadia, Raina, and others of using abusive language and making obscene comments about women on the show.

Allahbadia engaged in a conversation with a contestant and posed a question that we would obviously not want to be repeated, but would have hurt the sensibilities of many.
