A fresh controversy has erupted in the comedy world after veteran comedian Sunil Pal launched a scathing attack on Samay Raina over a joke made during India's Got Latent Season 2.

Reacting to a segment from the popular comedy talent show, Pal expressed strong disapproval of Raina's style of humor and questioned the increasing use of explicit content in mainstream digital entertainment.

“Tere muh se itni gandagi kyun nikalti hai?” (Why does so much filth come out of your mouth?), Pal remarked while criticizing what he described as an overreliance on offensive jokes for laughs.

What sparked the controversy?

The row stems from a joke involving a toothbrush reference during an episode of India's Got Latent Season 2, which quickly circulated on social media platforms.

While many viewers viewed the remark as part of the show's edgy and irreverent comedic style, others argued that it crossed the boundaries of acceptable humor.

The clip soon triggered debate online, with supporters defending creative freedom and critics accusing comedians of resorting to vulgarity for attention.

Sunil Pal's criticism

Pal, known for his family-friendly comedy and appearances on television comedy shows, said modern comedians should be more mindful of the content they present to audiences.

According to him, comedy should entertain without relying on language or themes that many viewers may find offensive.

The comedian argued that popularity on digital platforms should not come at the expense of social responsibility, particularly given the influence that online personalities have among younger audiences.

Divided reactions online
