‘Samay Raina ne Yuzvendra Chahal ki band bajaayi thi,’ says Purav Jha on unreleased India’s Got Latent episode | Bollywood News

Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent was among the most-watched shows on YouTube in recent times before the comedian removed all its episodes following the controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia’s tasteless comments. Since the controversy, Samay hasn’t released any new episodes of the show. Recently, Purav Jha recalled his experience of shooting the unreleased episode of India’s Got Latent with cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, who was among the panels.
In an interview with MensXP, Purav Jha recalled that they had a lot of fun shooting the episode and shared how they became a couple of ‘back-benchers’ with Yuzvendra, who took jokes in his stride. He said, “Woh aadmi (Yuzvendra Chahal) launda hai. He is full of fun. I felt like I was sitting with my school friend. He is very down-to-earth and jolly. We were like backbenchers. He is very cool,” Jha expressed.
Though Purav is sceptical about the release of the new episode, he did admit that Samay pulled Yuzvendra’s leg on the show, which had the audience in splits. “Hum toh bach gaye the. Humara toh nahi kuch hua tha, but Yuzi bhai ki toh band bajaayi thi Samay bhai ne badhiya. Theek hai, bahut controversy ho gayi hai (We got saved, but Samay took Yuzvendra’s case but there has been enough controversy already),” Purav shared.

He added, “I don’t know if I should be happy or sad, as my episode has not been released due to controversy. Kyuki audience bolti hai yaar hume dekhna tha aapka wala episode toh fir aisa lagta hai ki aaya nahi… phir uske baad police wale (Audience ask when is your episode coming, then I feel it should be release but then police….).”
Apart from Yuzvendra Chahal and Purav Jha, other episodes also had guests like Farah Khan, Munawar Faruqui, Mallika Sherawat, Ahsaas Channa, Bhuvan Bam, Dalip Tahil, Ashish Vidyarthi, Rahul Dua, Vishal Dadlani, and others.
