India’s Got Latent 2 Controversy: Mukesh Chhabra, Netflix Face Complaint

Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent 2 is facing fresh controversy after a complaint was reportedly filed against casting director Mukesh Chhabra and Netflix India over an allegedly inappropriate remark in a recent episode.

The complaint, reportedly filed by Anurag Shrivastav, seeks verification of the alleged statement and an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding its inclusion in the episode. It also raises questions about Netflix India’s content approval process.

However, the allegation has not been independently established as fact. The complaint itself reportedly calls for the original recording to be examined to verify the statement, its context and the identity of the speaker.

Mukesh Chhabra and Netflix India Face Complaint Over Alleged Remark

According to reports citing IANS, Shrivastav said he watched the episode on Netflix while staying at a hotel in Mumbai on September 22.

The episode featured Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bhuvan Bam, Mukesh Chhabra, Kaustubh Agarwal and host Samay Raina. It was released on September 18 on both Netflix and YouTube.

The complaint reportedly alleges that Chhabra made a sexually suggestive remark during the episode. The complainant has described the alleged language as inappropriate and objectionable and has requested an investigation.

At this stage, however, the allegation remains subject to verification.

What Did the Complaint Say About Mukesh Chhabra’s Alleged Comment?

The complaint reportedly asks for the alleged statement to be checked against the original and unedited footage of the episode.

Several details have been specifically raised for verification, including:

• Whether the alleged statement was actually made
• Who made the statement
• The complete context of the conversation
• The exact timestamp of the alleged remark
• Whether the footage was edited before being streamed

This distinction is important because the reported complaint itself does not establish the allegation as a confirmed fact. Any conclusion would depend on verification of the original recording and the surrounding context.
